HORSES ARE MADE TO BE HORSES
By Franz Mairinger

The book is based on notes from lectures and demonstrations given by Franz and assembled by his widow Erna, pupils, friends and followers. Every page communicates the presence and personality of the teacher as he instructs, persuades, argues, accuses, jokes, provokes, and draws analogies from many areas of human experience. His profound understanding of the horse as an animal whose energies and talents are best expressed by following the pattern of nature - never by invoking force.
