INTRODUCING SARASara Rose:In her own words: “I use my knowledge of the horse’s anatomy and muscular functions in all of my work with horses. It gives me a better understanding of their bodies and keeping them happy.”“I help people better communicate with their horse. When people feel happy with their horses and have a good ride, or feel whatever they are doing is a success, it is because there was a clear flow of communication between horse and rider. Frustration happens when there is a misunderstanding between horse and rider.”
