A poem about my new experience with legerete, a theory of how to approach horsemanship and riding. It is not about force, but harmony and assertiveness - an entirely different approach to control, based on respect and knowledge of horses.


Phantom

He dances beside me
but only when I am assertive and confident
He moves synchronized to me
But only when I focus on the path ahead and not
on him
We stop and go together
dancing as though one mind

We, in tune as though a perfected harmony
listening to the other's movement
Like two lovers

yet I am human
and he, equine

When communication works between human and horse, it is pure joy, magic. I have experienced just the thing you describe. Thank you for helping me remember that feeling again.
