The Fjord Horse, Fit for a Coming Queen
Princess Elizabeth of England owned a Scottish bred fjord horse called Glen Tanar Hans during the 1940s. Here she is feeding her fjord horse from the silver cup they won at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in 1943.

Lessons from horses
If you can start the day without caffeine and get going without pep pills,
always cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
you’re almost as good as a horse.
The horse seldom divulges many troubles to complaining and boring people,
he eats the same food every day,
grateful for it,
He overlooks it when those you love take it out on you if something goes wrong through no
fault of yours,
So, then, if you too face the world without lies and deceit,
relaxing well without medical help, without liquor,
able to sleep without debilitating aid of drugs,
Free from prejudice against another man’s religion and politics,
You’re nearly as good as a horse -
The poem is rooted in Rudyard Kipling’s poem "If" among other things
Out of the confusion
Horse-back riding has been proven effective with people of very many types: Victims of accidents and war, stressed professionals interested in improving their teamwork and others.
We can operate on other levels apart from that of survival, forgetting, "A person who always takes the same route ... will eventually get lost" - S. Kessler. [I]
Dr. Rogers' warm-hearted method of counselling is non-directed, client-centred. The method is also called to get into the "organismic feel" and derive benefit from it. [Ropp; Tcrr; Mue]
Well-nigh everyone has movements, postures, instincts and ideas from deep inside.
