As Ms. Swift says: "I think after reading Barbier's book you will come away with a renewed desire to connect with your horse. Never forget the importance of the center for unity between horse and rider". All of us seeking to work with, and better connect to our equine partners can learn much from this great book; it's not just about the movements, it's about becoming a true and loving partner to your equine teammate!
