Horse & Tao: Ten Lessons in the Arts of Horseback Riding and Daily Living

In Horse & Tao, Philip Naudé brings the esoteric philosophy of Taoism to life, making it accessible and relevant to the way we live today.

Naudé reveals the wisdom of Taoism by drawing parallels between it and the art of horseback riding. Taoism is both a complex philosophy and a practical guide to living an enriched existence; horseback riding is the art of communicating with, caring for, and relating to another sentient being. Both can teach us about life and ourselves in unexpected ways. And both can be studied for a lifetime, and even then there will always be more to learn. By exploring the alignment and intersection of these two practices, Naudé reveals ways of thinking that are meaningful not only in equestrianism, but in any pursuit.
