The Zen Of Horseriding

'Most 'good'" riders couldn't possibly tell you the 'how' of their riding, they just do it, they just are, with no analysis or self-consciousness. When you become you, Zen becomes Zen. No effort.'

Although she has been frightened of horses since childhood, Ingrid Soren sets out to learn something of the art of horseriding - and gets more than she bargained for. We follow her tentative encounters with the horses who, with their distinctive personalities and qualities, help her not only to overcome some of her fear, but to understand more about herself.

There is an old saying that a Zen Master's life is one mistake after another, meaning that every mistake is an opportunity to learn. Whether you are interested in horses and riding, or in the down-to-earth and often humorous wisdom of Zen, this insightful little book is an excellent place to begin.
