CLAN OF THE HORSES

In today's episode, I will not be asking the questions, but rather be the one trying to answer them. This recording is from a Q&A that Leslie Desmond hosted in April, where she invited me to join her online community The Leslie Desmond Horse Network for a talk about horses, books, and life.

In today's episode, I will not be asking the questions, but rather be the one trying to answer them. The recording is from a Q&A with Leslie Desmond, who invited me to join her online community for a chat about horses, books, and life.

- My philosophy is that I want to be someone else to the horse. Different from any human being the horse has ever meet it's entire life. I want to be that person who stands out in a positive way, says Danish Helle Vestergaard Knudsen, who was introduced to PNH way back when, then met Jasmin Schacht (EP265) and experienced how the world of the horse really opened up. Since then she has - among other things - spent a lot of time with mentors like Lucy Rees and her herd of Pottoka ponies. Episode photo: Katja Jensen Photography.

The horse's ability to adapt in order to survive, is something we need to take into consideration when we choose to spend time with them. The complete episode will air on Monday september 7th at 6 am (UTC+2).

- Horses hate conflict and will do everything they can to avoid it, says horse ethologist Lucy Rees, who has dedicated her life to studying horses in the wild. We met up in Sikkilsdalen, Norway, this past June for the annual summer turnout of breeding stallions and mares, and we spent three days together in the mountains.
