Editor's Note
Four years ago, I published the 1st issue of Equine Leadership. Now we are proud to welcome you to Equine Leadership’s 4th Edition (EL4). I started this paragraph with an “I” and moved to “we” because Equine Leadership is now team based, WE based. I offer my utmost appreciation to Becci Godfrey and Pat Hutchinson for their time and effort put into this magazine.

Gift Horse
By Graeme Green
How often do we casually talk of “never looking a gift horse in the mouth" and stop to think of its meaning? Of course, a gift-horse would still bring a smile to our faces today, but I wonder how much more?

Connection
By Mary Joy-Johnson
I have read a lot recently about how new research is showing us that humans benefit from time in nature. We have the revolution in ‘Green Care’ with GP’s ‘prescribing’ time in nature. To me, that’s like saying fish benefit from being in water, or suggesting that we might...

The Pony That Spoke to My Inner Child
By Mark Cavill
I have been very interested in Carl Jung’s theories regarding the unconscious and the ‘inner child’ for many years. A decade of discussion with Jungian psychotherapy professionals has helped me explore these ideas within a safe space.

Horses and Humans Help Each Other Heal
By Julie Puentes
In the fall of 2011, a 34,000-acre inferno erupted just a few miles from our farm. For a week we were helpless, unable to reach our farm and not knowing what, if anything, would still be standing or how our herd of cows would survive.

The Horse, The Human and The Cycle of Somatic Presence
By Graeme Green
I would like to being with a Haiku.
I am no one. And....In nothingness I become....Everything at once.

Respectful Connections
By Clare Thomas-Pino
Humans frequently interact with other living beings with little regard for the non-verbal responses that those they are interacting with are displaying. In the presence of horses, it can be easier to see the impact of our interactions, as they are so large...

Let Fear Lead The Way
By Wendy Firmin-Price
You are often taught fear is a bad thing and that you must overcome it at all costs. Certainly, fear can hold you back in life, stop you fulfilling your dreams and cost you a great deal, and not just financially, but in lost opportunities, low self-esteem and loss of confidence.

"Be Still And Know"
By Emma Rourke
For as long as she could remember it had been there. The image of the small girl pointing out the grey horse over the fence to her father, and the need to be close to it, as he scratched his head bemused.

Freedom is a Feeling
By Becci Godfrey
I have spent the last two years, learning to “see the mind, not be the mind”, to find and calm the conflicts in my life, and to know my true Self. I do this so that I might always experience absolute freedom and can navigate others to that place also.

Giving Voice Through Choice
By Nikki Kagan
Those of us who share our lives with horses spend much of our time trying to help them “make the right choices.” If I was the horse, which would I prefer? Would I prefer being given the opportunity to act from a place of free choice?
