Tao of Equus Logo T-shirtsize MEDIUM (womens 6-8) from the award-winning Tao of Equus book series by Linda Kohanov Linda Kohanov's books grace the libraries of nearly all progressive thinking horsemen and horsewomen who are aware of current writings on the subject. Here are some comments on the first book: About The Tao of Equus - The Way of the Horse Book: Linda Kohanov's experiences with horse ownership has led her on a journey that she never would have imagined in her wildest dreams. Read about what the horses in her life have revealed to her; a way of looking at the horse/human dynamic that goes far beyond "horse whispering." These books are full of thought-provoking ideas unlike any you've ever experienced. A whole realm exists outside the "predator/prey" dynamic that many horse owners have sensed the existence of, but were reluctant to acknowledge. Kohanov's books are eloquent, rich, and well researched. You will find yourself reading about current findings in psychology and brain science right alongside references to the Bible and ancient mythology. "The human habit of suppressing feelings is notoriously unsettling to a species that survives by being able to gauge a predator's intentions at a distance. A person who is "emotionally incongruent", who acts one way while feeling the opposite, appears dangerously out of focus to the equine awareness system." "These horses are the "high sensitives" of the herd. Standard desensitization techniques can have an unexpected effect, making them withdraw or panic... they often end up at the killer's because they can't be 'fixed'." *Hoofprints' owner Gina Keesling's note: "These books are some of my all time favorites. I review a LOT of material in consideration for our catalog - and whenever I pick up one of Linda's books I end up reading something that helps me through some struggle that I am experiencing. They technically are not how-to type horse training texts, but I can honestly say that I have learned more useful things about the dynamics of interacting with others (horses and humans) from these books than all others I've read combined." About The Tao of Equus Logo: "Know the yang, but keep to the yin." Philosopher Lao-tzu's quote applies to modern life as much as it did 2,500 years ago. "Taoism is best known in popular culture for the 'yin-yang' circle, it's 2 interlocking tadpole like symbols representing the balance of opposites in the universe & in the human psyche: white & black, creation & destruction, male & female, conscious & unconscious, sound & silence, doing something & doing nothing. To the relentlessly assertive, patriarchal Western mind, the Taoist picture of reality at first appears contrary to everything we believe because it asks us to consider the opposite of our normal inclinations." -from page 38 -The Tao of Equus The logo embroidered on these fine, 100% cotton T-shirts was designed by Linda herself.
