| THE PATH OF THE HORSE Taking the First Step The 60 minute documantary film by Stormy May profiles six internationally-recognized innovators known for taking the horse’s physical, emotional and even spiritual well-being into consideration: "The Path of the Horse" is an innovative documentary that takes an honest look at how working with horses is evolving today. This inspirational documentary explores the future of horse-human relationships and ultimately all human relationships. As our culture evolves from domination over nature into a partnership, we see this change being reflected in the work that people are doing with horses. The "Path of the Horse" shows the progress toward true partnership between horses and humans. The people have learned to relate to horses in ways that, in many cases, bring to life the myths and fantasies that have long surrounded the equine species. About the Film Maker Stormy May: A professional horse trainer, Stormy gives up her career to travel the world in search of those who have somehow unlocked the secret of moving to the next level of understanding horses. What she finds is simple, eloquent and powerful, but is she willing to pay the price to take the path less traveled? Read What Viewers Say About This DVD Alexander Nevzorov: Producer: The Horse Encyclopedia, Nevzorov Haute Ecole Base: St. Petersburg, Russia As a battle-scarred and wounded journalist reporting on several military operations and wars, Mr. Nevzorov came to hate the cruelty, injustice, and senseless violence of mankind. His own sensitivities repelled him from what he saw as traditionally violent methods of training horses. After years of work within the art of Haute Ecole, he learned how to teach horses piaffe, passage, capriole and other exercises without the use of bits, bridles, spurs, or any other form of coercion. While most trainers say this is not possible, Alexander's results are irrefutable and he has created a school of believers. Mark Rashid: Author: Considering the Horse and Horses Never Lie Base: Estes Park, Colorado Horsemanship can, in the end, be more about a way to be than a set of things to do. This is Mark Rashid's credo. He strives to work with horses in a way that preserves those essential parts of their nature: their power, their sensitivity, their subtlety and their desire to get along. Rashid uses his experience in the martial art of Aikido to see horses as "energy", and much of his work centers around the ideas of redirecting and influencing energy. Linda Kohanov: Author: The Tao of Equus and Riding Between the Worlds Base: Epona equine program, Sonoita, Arizona "The equine system is like a huge receiver and amplifier for emotional vibrations. No matter how good you are at hiding things from yourself and others, your nervous system still involuntarily broadcasts what you're really feeling, at a frequency horses are especially good at tuning in to." This horse to human biofeedback is the basis of Linda's Epona program in which she helps equestrians who have reached an impasse with their mounts. She reveals how many of so-called "problem horses" are simply mirroring feelings and intentions their owners had no idea they were projecting. Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling: Author: Dancing with Horses, What Horses Reveal Base: Akedah School, Lyø, Denmark After teaching, traveling, and studying mythology, Klaus, at the age of 29 decided to study more deeply the most significant symbol of our culture, the horse. He took off for the Spanish Pyrenees to be with the untamed herds in their natural environment. What he came back with was a new understanding of how horses can lead to the recognition of ones own self, through awareness of the self of each horse. Rather than seeing the horse and our fellow humans through a cloud of our own concepts and images, he teaches people to recognize others in their essence, which leads to communication and healing. Carolyn Resnick: Author: Naked Liberty Base: Escondido, California Known as "the girl who talked to horses" while growing up in the 1940s and 50s, Carolyn put these qualities to the test as she sought to gain acceptance into a band of wild horses. Progressing up the pecking order with nothing but her own two feet and a desire for acceptance, she ultimately unlocked the secrets of the herd and was invited to ride the lead mare in complete liberty. Carolyn possesses a gift not only for communicating with horses, but for teaching these processes for everyone to use not only with horses but within their families and communities. Kim McElroy: Illustrator: The Way of the Horse - Equine Archetypes for Self Discovery As a child, she imagined she was a horse, and later turned to drawing them as a way to express her dreams. The inner world she created of horses was much more complex and emotional than the outer reality she discovered at riding stables. Though she never owned a horse until the age of 30, her intuitive understanding of their nature went beyond physical proximity.
