The opening scene showed a young man astride a brown gelding moving swiftly along a forest trail at the head of group of grey riderless horses. Downhill and uphill they moved at varying paces. Horse and human put their trust entirely in each other, for they used no tack or tools. The human trusted that his horse would carry him safely. The horse trusted that his human would guide him safely. Their connection was profound. It was not the riding that drew me but the bond between horse and human. It was the most powerful that I had ever seen on various levels. And I knew there and then that I also wanted such a relationship with a horse. So I went in search of it. And I found it.In the process I experience major personal development which helped me deal with my traumas. Throughout my life I have experienced significant traumas but especially in my childhood from about three of four years of age until I was about twenty or a bit older. As a result, I was a seriously dysfunctional, angry and distrustful man. Horses have helped me not only survive my traumas but also to find joy in my life.My five books on horses concern my journey since 2007. They include reflections on my experience and what I have learned, including articles written along the way. My final book on horses, 'Being Humans for Horses' synthesizes all that I had learned.until its publication. Now 'Trauma Trounced Tranquillity Triumphant' develops this further and relates it directly to interaction with other humans.Horse-related qualifications- Equine Touch bodywork practitioner and instructor- Master Saddle Fitting Consultant (MSFC)view less
