Casey: She immigrated from Ireland to Germany a year ago. She didn’t understand our language, and we had to learn to read hers first. Like an uncomprehended wild horse without the protection of her herd, she was marked by fear. Nevertheless, she literally stormed her way into our hearts and earned her right to stay. Today, we speak the same language, perhaps sometimes with different dialects, but always in a way that we understand each other. This is not a book for professional riders. Some of them wouldn’t even understand it. It is also not a book for horse traders. It is a book for all those who want to learn to understand their horse better and to form a close friendship with it. Building mutual trust is the only right way to do this. Never force your horse to submit; instead, offer it as much safety and security as possible.
