The much-anticipated follow-up to HORSE WOMAN, this collection of essays by master horsewoman Lee McLean covers the spectrum of love, fear, winning, loss, leadership, ageing, growth, illness and recovery … all through the medium of horsemanship. Lee writes: So often, our horsemanship mirrors our human relationships. For most of us, the challenge comes in trying to find a balance between ‘love’ and ‘rules’. Basic safety demands that my horses go in a disciplined manner. But the joy in my horsemanship comes from developing a soft feel. When we live and believe in only one approach, our horses will never rise to be their best. Nor will we. Many days, before I swing a leg over, I’ll stop and breathe. This is my mantra: Love and rules. Love and rules. Love and rules.
