EMPOWERED HORSES
Learning Their Way through Independence, Self-Confidence and Creative Play

by Imke Spilker

Discover how to preserve your horse's independence in a "human's world" by becoming more passive, receptive and accepting, giving your horse the physical and emotional "space" allowing you to take an unbelievably active role  in your interactions , both work and play. With your support, your horse will develop exercises that naturally balance and collect  his body, as if magic. In addition, he will enthusiastically "work with and carry" you - inviting you along for the ride of your life.

Whether human or horse, feelings, posture and movement are inextricably linked. With the ability to "tap into his language" - as explained in the pages of this book - you can leave behind the demands, commands and cues you once relied on, and instead discover an unbelievable realm of sophisticated and mutually beneficial symbiosis.

In this astonishing new book, the horses have the leading role: Reno, the "thinker" and his mares; Topur, the "guide"; Mighty Max and the boy's herd - all horses who, in their charming way, lead us to develop and educated eye and a special "feel" for them. Hundreds of authentic photos from daily work, taken over many years, illuminate the changes in these horses.


ABOUT IMKE SPILKER

She studied language sciences at Heidelberg in Germany. Always in search of the truth of the horse behind the great words of human beings, she has immersed herself in the works of the old masters of equitation. Fifteen years ago, she founded the Communicative Horses Project where the horses learn to "whisper" to human beings, while humans learn how to listen to them. This book evolved from the work of the Communicative Horses project.
