Being able to find joy in someone else's joy is the secret of happiness.

This is why there are so many happy horse lovers!

If you keep, handle, and train horses according to their nature, and approach them with open eyes and ears as well as an open heart, they communicate very clearly that they feel happy.

From the ten-year-old girl to the riding master, they all have something in common: the happiness they are given by these wonderful animals.

In this thoughtful and touching book, professional horse photographer Christiane Slawik gathers her own thoughts, and those of her horse-loving friends, about the happiness they feel and share when they are with horses.

Slawik's gorgeous photography showcases the beauty, power, and sensitivity of horses, making this a moving tribute to their many gifts.
