In her work "Between Heaven and Herd - On the Nature of the Horse Soul," Tanja von Salzen-Märkert invites readers to think outside the box. Her goal is to create a sense of safety and comfort for both horses and their humans, allowing them to feel secure and at ease in today's world. Tanja von Salzen-Märkert is wholeheartedly dedicated to this mission through her approach of "Essential Horse Work." This involves gaining natural insights into the essence of the horse and drawing conclusions that become clear through a conscious engagement with the equine being, inviting practical implementation. In our fast-paced, performance-oriented society, what is truly important is often overlooked. Ancient traditions have preserved this old knowledge, which Tanja von Salzen-Märkert makes accessible to us once again. The reader is invited to connect with the horse in a meaningful way.
