Wed, 03 Jul 2024 05:00:00 -0400

What if you knew your horse’s personality and temperament Well, thanks to a book Melisa has written, you can! Equusology is the art of human-equine relationships.

Listen in as Melisa talks about writing this book and how Equusology can help you strengthen the bond with your horse.
