Finding Pegasus                                                                 by Terry Church

About the author Terry Church has been a professional horse trainer, dressage instructor and competitor for the past thirty-four years. Although "classically trained" through the FEI (international) levels in the United States and Germany, she came to understand that the current methods of training horses predominantly reflect the human quest for dominance and control, rather than a recognition of how animals can benefit from and enhance the human experience through respectful partnerships. Synchronicity led her to a meeting with the great master horseman, Tom Dorrance, with whom she spent the next seven years relearning everything she thought she knew about horses — and about herself. Ms. Church currently travels extensively throughout the United States where she uses horses to facilitate a person’s process of self-discovery, thereby broadening their awareness and sensitivity to themselves and the natural world. In addition to her lifelong passion for horses, Ms. Church has had an interest in writing since early childhood. As an adult she studied writing for five years in Santa Barbara with author Bill Richardson, who became a primary influence in helping her face the truth about her life — and how to express that in words. She has published a number of articles in magazines and trade journals, some of which can be found on her website http://www.naturalsporthorse.com
