If you can't meet Wyatt in person, then reading his book is the next best thing! Learn about The Equine Experience, developed by Wyatt Webb, it's a new form of therapy that blends horse sense with common sense.

Of course, they wear shoes - but not the kind they sell at Bloomingdale's. 'You're going to clean some hooves,' he tells the group, 'and you're going to groom the horse. How you relate to this animal will tell us what you've learned over the course of your lifetime concerning how you relate to all living things. Your basic training has come from learning how to treat people.' He pauses and adds, 'Remember one thing: It's not about the horse.'
