Incredibly passionate

You can tell the author loves horses. By describing its physical characteristics and the psychology of the animal, no doubt about the depth of love and respect are at the heart of this work. I learned that it is the horse that teaches us first. After that, it's human. Every detail makes us appreciate this majestic animal even more.

We learn how to gain respect from our horse, tips to buy the right horse and how to understand it's "misbehavior".

I recommend it.
