Publisher's summary

I was in love with the romance and beauty of the dancing white horses of Spain and Portugal and the artistry of Baroque Classical riding. When my young Lusitano colt arrived from Portugal, his purity and intelligence deeply affected me. His joy and precociousness was captivating.

Yet, if I was to turn him into a riding horse, how was I to achieve this without affecting all the connection and engagement I already felt with him? I was in a dilemma, and I began to realize I wanted more than the prescribed horsemanship offered for Unico within its lens of goals and competitiveness. Deep inside me, a shift in started to take place. Little did I know I was to find myself on a myself on a journey of discovery that would challenge and change my approach and perspective to life and horsemanship completely.

As I listened to my heart and intuition, outside any conventional methods, I knew a place of intuitive, creative learning began to materialize between Unico and I. It was as if Unico directly distilled into my mind and heart that he wished me to know. A request to pick up a hoof, unlocking a catch on a gate, just quietly walking, the smallest of acts became charged with a resonance of quality and beauty that became the dharma I practised.

It was a place not bound by words or thoughts, yet its unifying connectedness radiated through the relationship with Unico. In this place, we far overstepped the boundaries of practice that horsemanship has been traditionally espoused and executed by. My objective external perspective completely swung around. Unico became my ultimate referent as I became both subject and object with my horse.

My work as a teacher had been predicated on exhorting the mind and thinking and knowing in this way. But in this place with Unico, my mind chatter stilled, and a new level of understanding that was somehow deeper than mere thought opened up. In this place, I have found a sense of connectedness to my own energy and presence—the calm still at the center of my true self and totality. In a strange way, I have lost my life, yet I have found it.

Beautiful meditation

This heartfelt narrative is so much more than just a story about a woman and her Lusitano colt, Unico. From the very beginning, the narrator's warm and captivating voice draws you in, making every emotion and revelation feel intimately personal. The author doesn't just share her journey of horsemanship; she invites us into her soul, challenging age-old practices and beliefs. It's a tale where intuition takes center stage, where even the tiniest gestures between her and Unico carry profound significance. Listening to this audiobook feels like a gentle meditation on life, connection, and the essence of true being. It's a testament to the power of deep bonds and self-discovery. A beautiful listen that I'd recommend to anyone, especially those seeking a richer understanding of themselves and their connections to the world.

Captivating tale

From the very beginning, this book got me captivated with the storyline which is not only the journey of the author's horsemanship but she also puts her soul into this. She shows us the important of intuition and every gesture between her and her Unico is so unique and profound.It literally melted my heart and it left me with a joy feeling after listening to it. I trully recommend listening to it, especially if you are into a self-discovery journey and you want something motivational and from the heart.
