Zen and Horseback Riding
Applying the Principles of Posture, Breath and Awareness to Riding Horses
by Tom Nagel
Yoga books notoriously repeat the wisdom of a particular teacher, handing down the pearls (and gaffes) generation after generation. Sometimes doors open by seeing the familiar through new eyes - and this elegant little book unfolds posture through the grounded eyes of an experienced horseman.
"This is not a book about Zen or the practice of Zen meditation...it is not about horses or training your horse...[rather] it is based on my experience of applying Zen, Zentherapy and Aikido training to riding horses. Zen and Horseback Riding is about seeing horses and riding as a Way, becoming an activity of self-development and spiritual training. It is about improving one's life as well as one's riding."
