  How well do you know your own horse; can you really say he reveals all of himself to you? At the heart of the work of Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling is the precise recognition of a horse's nature in only a few seconds, followed by his transformation within minutes of the first encounter. But what is the secret of his work? Why do horses reveal themselves to him in the briefest period of time? This book uncovers the answers to questions that more and more horsemen and women are asking. How do I truly recognize the nature of my horse? How does a deep understanding develop? How can I achieve a friendship that will last a lifetime? In What Horses Reveal, Hempfling teaches the principles of primal life against the background of both the mythological and the real horse. He emphasizes the importance of totally honest self-assessment and self-knowledge and both mental and physical self-control, and demonstrates how a misplaced or misunderstood feeling, glance, posture, attitude or movement can make the difference between success and failure in the relationship with a horse. In order to gain a greater understanding of every horse, the author describes in detail, and explains how to apply, his unique system for recognizing horses. All horses, no matter what their breed or type, will fit into his clearly defined twenty-six character groups. The author's first book, Dancing with Horses, met with overwhelming international success; thousands of spectators bore witness to a way of interacting with horses that made the horses the teachers, the bearers of mysteries, whose proximity could transform human lives. What Horses Reveal extends this knowledge and should be read by all horse owners, trainers and students who wish to take their equine understanding to a much greater depth.
