Baucher and the Ordinary Horseman Tom Widdicombe

In the author's own words: 'In my life working with horses, I eventually came across two key discoveries that have had a major impact on my horsemanship. Firstly, when I experienced and understood 'feel' - I can't begin to imagine being with horses without some knowledge and understanding of this. And secondly, when I experienced and understood the freedom and balance that François Baucher studied and taught throughout his life. Working with horses knowing these things has been an absolute revelation for me. To truly understand the importance of feel, freedom and balance to the well-being of the horse is, I believe, as good as horsemanship can get.'
