Product Description
How a stroke allowed me to discover a more symbiotic way of working with horses.
In 1994, when Kathleen Lindley Beckham was a mere 28 years old, a serious stroke derailed her equestrian career. As a happy and successful trainer of jumping horses, Kathleen had never questioned conventional methods of training horses. But after the stroke, she realized that if she were to continue working with horses, she would have to dig deep into herself, and discover more symbiotic ways of working with horses. Discovering the Work chronicles the profound changes in Kathleen’s thoughts and deeds as she begins to see the world more from the horse’s point of view. Kathleen takes the reader with her as she questions her most basic beliefs about horses and humbly re-learns the most basic of equestrian skills.
Kathleen’s writing is thoughtful, to-the-point and entertaining. She is known by her dedicated readers for “describing the indescribable” and for breaking complex topics and ideas into manageable pieces. The topics she covers in Discovering the Work will resonate with horse people everywhere, and will give the reader inspiration to renew their relationships with their horses.
Softcover, 128 pages.
