A new essay about horses

“A horse can hear your heartbeat from four feet away. If your pulse is elevated, the horse will interpret it as danger. The notion of staying calm around a horse because they can sense your fear comes not from the worry it might exploit you, but from the chance it will become a nervous wreck and a danger to itself and to you.”

I wrote an essay about rediscovering horse riding as an adult and looked back at some horses of my past, and examined why horses are a source of beauty, romance, stress-relief and terror. Read it at Newsroom.
