I'm re-reading Mark's first book "Considering the Horse". I admire his openness. He made mistakes. He experimented, observed the horse's response, and his knowledge grew. He learned to listen to the horse. Looking forward to being with Bella tomorrow!

Animals get brought into hospitals, classrooms and therapy rooms to make people feel better. The person is almost always the only one anyone measures. A recent study changed the focus by recognizing that interactions have two participants. #equinetherapy #horsetherapy #horselover
