The Other Side Of Horsemanship by Shelby Dennis, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The Other Side of Horsemanship is a poignant look at the connection between horse trauma and human trauma and how it influences normalized harshness in horse training. Bitten by the horse bug at a young age, Shelby was an avid horse lover from the time she could walk. She wanted nothing more than to be around horses. From the time she started riding at just age 4, she was taught to handle the horses harshly in her lessons, and for years had no idea the impact these punishing techniques had on the beloved horses around her. With horses as a constant, Shelby experienced a number of traumatic events throughout her childhood, the barn being the one place of safety she could cling to. This is Shelby's story of how she found herself with the help of horses and began to learn how to heal from her own trauma as she embarked on the journey of learning how to understand horses better by developing a more empathetic approach to training. | The Other Side Of Horsemanship by Shelby Dennis, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
