One aspect that is coming to light with what I am doing with the horses is the subtlety of the connection. It makes it difficult for people to see, and so its existence and value is easily overlooked. This is challenging because as with holographic drawings, once you can see it, it leaps out at you. Revealing engagement, how it manifests within the relationship and how transformative it is, feels deeply important for the welfare of horses in general. It is actively therapeutic and offers a way to expand and sophisticate our partnership without the exploitation which is so common in training and riding horses.
