A short-form pamphlet published by New Perennials Publishing and written by actor, director, and educator Lindsay Pontius about an experience on her farm of a cross-species teaching and learning activity involving a veteran teacher and a horse. In Pontius' words: "For more than 40 years, I have had horses in my life. Mostly, my horses are pets and partners. But I have always wanted to share with other humans the wisdom and gifts the horses offer, day by day and year by year. Now, I use my herd to give workshops to groups, such as veterans and educators, about the profound experience of linking nurturing with nature."
