About this title

Synopsis

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' to take an unbelievably active role in your interactions - both work and play. With your support, your horse will develop games and exercises that naturally balance and collect his body, as if by 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' this 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. 'This is the book that every horse would give his rider.'

About the Author

Imke Spilker is the founder of the Communicative Horses Project. She is the author of Communicative Horses.

Imke Spilker is a professional linguist who studied language sciences at the University of Heidelberg. Always in search of the truth of the horse behind the great words of human beings, she immersed herself in the works of the old Masters of equitation.  Fifteen years ago, Spilker found four-legged teachers who answered these questions --  under saddle and in the pasture.  With these horses she founded the "Communicative Horses Project " (www.kommunikativepferde.de).  In this project horses have the say.  The horses learn to "whisper" to human beings, while humans learn how to listen to their horses and come into a true conversation with them.  The book, "Empowering Horses to Learn Their Way," evolved from the work of “Communicative Horses." Spilker lives in Stegen, Germany.
