I never met a horse I didn’t like. My father grew up on a farm with horses - I’ll get him to share a fond memory. I love a good horse story, too. I’ve been told that horse is a strong “power animal” according to shamanic tradition.

For all native peoples the arrival and domestication of Horse shortened the distance of journeys making travel easier. This made it more possible to visit with distant clans and communities, which increased the ability to communicate and to strengthen relationships. It also enabled people to experience the world beyond their immediate environment.

Southern Oregon’s online news source, the Mail Tribune, makes therapeutic horse riding available to more people, facilitating a special type of healing.

I’ll refer you to a newly released book, as seen on Amazon, Riding into Your Mythic Life: Transformational Adventures with the Horse by Patricia Broersma. The reviews say: “This special book provides a wonderful insight into the many ways horses can change lives through their power, magic, and mythic legacy. It should be read by anyone on a journey to empower themselves or for those who want to help others in need and with special needs. As Broersma explains, by partnering with the horse, the world can be changed for the better — one person at a time.”
