MYTH BUSTERS BLOG
by Nancy K. Camp
Having completed my first full-length book, In It for the Horses, A journey from Whips to Whispers, I'm thrilled to launch this platform and invite you to delve into the misconceptions and outdated beliefs that continue to shape our relationships with horses, often prioritizing human ego over their well-being.
We'll listen to the horses instead. Let's rethink how we interact with our equine companions, and advocate for revolutionary changes in horse-human dynamics and the broader practices within the equestrian industry. I look forward to embarking on this enlightening path with you and fostering a community that values curiosity, growth, and compassion. |
