Imagine for a minute that you were born without the use of your legs. You have never known the sensation of walking except for those brief moments when someone carried you. Now imagine you are riding on the back of a horse. Your body is sitting straight up. Your legs are straight in the stirrups. And the horse is walking. You can feel your whole body moving up and down. Your weight is shifting to the left and to the right. The whole world in front of your eyes shakes and moves in rhythm to the movement of your body. This is what walking is like. Now imagine how feeling this sensation must affect your whole body, and your mind, your emotions, even your spirit. This is the healing power of the horse.
