Of Life and Horses is more than a primer on equine behavior. It is a comprehensive look into understanding the nature of horses and attaining harmony with these magnificent beings. As much as society tends to describe horses with one definition, the truth is that each horse, like each human, is individual. Those of us who desire to understand horses and develop personal relationships with them - the kind of harmony that is sustainable and satisfying - must learn to understand equine nature. Author Ann Bradley approaches this subject with one strong purpose: that readers find harmony and unity with their equine companions. So much of how we approach a horse is based on our observations. The more we observe. . . and understand. . . the more successful that relationship will be. Despite the perception, each horse has its particular intellect and complexity of character. How do horses see their world - literally as well as figuratively? What makes them do the things they do? How can we develop a means of communication with an animal so different in nature from ourselves? These questions and so many more are addressed in Of Life and Horses.
