Comments on: Book Review: ‘Lessons in Lightness, the Art of Educating the Horse’ http://www.ethicalhorsemanship.com/2009/11/10/book-review-lessons-in-lightness/ Exploring topics on horse training & welfare Tue, 17 Aug 2010 23:16:55 +1200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Andrea Steele http://www.ethicalhorsemanship.com/2009/11/10/book-review-lessons-in-lightness/comment-page-1/#comment-91 Andrea Steele Fri, 27 Nov 2009 14:33:52 +0000 http://www.ethicalhorsemanship.com/?p=724#comment-91 No apology necessary...I just helped Mark get the words out and assemble them in a good order. I am so glad that it gave Mark a platform to broaden his audience because he is so good at what he does. Where the book focuses on the horse - the DVD focuses on the rider. Even experienced riders (of any discipline) will learn and grow from the program. I am glad to hear you have fond the benefits of tai chi - I absolutely believe that the energy work you learn will transform your riding and your relationship with your horse. When you talk about ambition and life taking different directions...I have, on occasion, opened doors that lead down a completely different path and then the project takes on a life of its own and you never know where you will end up! Opening Mouse Hole Farm Productions was a big commitment, but I still believe it was the only way to take the time and effort to create the end product we would be proud of...and the reviews suggest we did okay. We will have a press release soon on our next project soon...in the meantime we ask riders to buy Riding with Chi - you will not be disappointed.

I had been thinking I should really put have your name on the book review, as it was co-written, - so you have kicked me into amending! My apologies for not acknowledging you on it sooner. Funnily enough I began t'ai chi a couple of months ago! I had been interested for a long time, but had been seeking an appropriate master... I look forward to checking out your DVD in the future, especially in the light of the wisdom from <em>Lessons in Lightness</em>. It is people like you and Mark that give us some light, when over the last long while there has been a lot of negativity, especially around competition riding. I hope that your books and DVDs allow people to see a different way. With your production company it looks as though you are fulfilling a life ambition, that perhaps you didn't realise you had. Your website looks very interesting, and I hope many readers go over to check it out. Thanks for taking the time to come over and tell us what you have been up to Andrea, and good luck with your new DVD Riding with Chi: Your Pathway to Energy Mastery.

With your production company it looks as though you are fulfilling a life ambition, that perhaps you didn’t realise you had. Your website looks very interesting, and I hope many readers go over to check it out.

It continues to sell well and I can't tell you how many people I meet that use the book as their best reference. After working with Mark on the book, I formed my own production company to bring a more artful and in-depth learning experience to equestrains. The first project, Riding with Chi: Your pathway to Energy Mastery, launched in late August, features Mark Russell as well as trainer, Patricia Norcia, and tai chi master, David Ritchi. Reviews to date have been over-whelmingly - we couldn't be happier. Please take a look at my website: www.MouseHoleFarm.com for more information and contact me any time.
