I just finished reading another book by Mark Rashid, my favorite horseman. He is amazing. just a phenominal human. in this book he talks about how practicing aikido enriched and transformed his ability to be with horses by allowing him to become more aware and centered with the horse. this guy is an old school cowboy who has worked on ranches most of his life. I am so excited for when i can finally have horses. I plan to take one (or more) of his clinics on horsemanship to become a better horseperson. I also plan to begin aikido lessons asap. it was inspiring. he is one of the few people that i can honestly call a hero and it is so exciting that people are moving toward this gentle way of being with horses. awesome.
