Summary

Jodine Carruthers, Equine Behavior Specialist and a true lover of horses, delivers an illuminating and important gift to everyone who owns or spends time with horses. In The Joy of the Journey Carruthers takes us step by step through the process of knowing our horse...and knowing ourselves through a holistic approach to connecting with horses. Achieving this, we are more likely to connect successfully with our horse, becoming the herd leader while allowing our horse to express who he is. This is not about dominance, but authentic partnership. Every page of this conscientiously created guide leads us closer to that perfect relationship where human and horse are filled with joy. Where do we find such harmony? The answer lies in successful communication, awareness, trusting our intuition, and understanding our bodies and nervous system, as well as the horse's. As we learn all of this, we move that much closer to the joy and unconditional love that horses can bring.
