He founded Iyuptala University, an online college-equivalent equine studies curriculum, and is the Executive Editor of Women & Horses magazine. The author’s simple eloquence forges a deep, profound relationship with the reader that few books achieve. As Pony Boy writes in the introduction, “For many [the Native American horseman] represents the ultimate rider. The essence of a horseman, both his skill and intuition, goes beyond the hours he spends in the saddle… the folklore of every Native tribe are stories, tales, and beliefs to exemplify human’s relations to other animals. The book describes not only the techniques involved for relationship training but also the belief system and attitude that must be applied to all methods of horsemanship. In addition to presenting the methods and philosophy of relationship training, Horse, Follow Closely includes stories and legends of Native Americans and their horses, all of which can teach you something new about yourself and your relationship with your horse.
