In Search of the Master Who Dances with Horses: Challenge
Based on social media statistics, Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling is arguably the most
popular horse trainer in the world, with more than one and a half million “likes” on
Facebook and just one of his many YouTube videos viewed more than 2.6 million
times. At a certain point in time he invited people to join him as part of a very small
select group to study with him full-time for a year.
Urgently in need of a meaningful change of life, a man decides to cross the world
together with his wife, a horse and a dog to be part of that small select group of
people. He too would like to learn how to dance with horses. Perhaps it will then also
be possible for him to teach others to do the same one day. He expects it to be life-
changing. It is. This is the first part of his story based on his blog.

5 out of 5 stars
One family's journey across the world in search of the truth about horses
If you have even one moment of doubt about the acceptability of current human
attitudes towards our interaction with horses then this book is required reading.
Although assembled from a collection of blogs posted over a short period of time the
writer has skillfully combined them to produce a fluent and fascinating story taking the
reader on a journey of extreme joy, huge heartbreak and devastating disappointment.
Andrew-Glyn Smail refreshingly presents the facts about horse/human relationships
as they are without trying to avoid offence or beg
for sympathy and he investigates the cracks in our equine world that most of us either
choose to ignore or, sadly, endorse. He identifies methods that have been blindly
followed for centuries as being seriously flawed and sets about finding enlightened
trainers to correct what amounts to pure cruelty. He investigates then offers the facts
about serious alternatives to our traditional, accepted horse training and handling
methods and summarizes pros and cons of these methods and trainers and thus arms
the reader with incentive, enthusiasm and, most importantly,
hope. This book will change lives.

Excellent theme & pursuit (for those who have the $$$)
Excellent theme & pursuit (for those who have the $$$), but he continuely beats up
Hempfling for his "injustices" to them. As "common" people, would have been much
more effective if author had stuck with all the other experiences along "The Path". It is
very thought provoking -- because after all these years of wanting a horse, I had very
much fallen into the same traps, no questions asked! And yes, I had just happened to
read Hempfling before Smail! Fortunately, don't have $100,000+ to spend on
searching for a "Master". Have gone thru All that "search" (w/o the $100K) for spiritual
"enlightment", and get to the same point -- when you're ready, the "teacher" (human or
equine) appears!
