Exploring horses, humans, and the natural world
Posted By Tapestry on February 9, 2010
Tapestry Institute’s Horse-Human Relationship Program conducts research and education about the way horses help people reconnect with the natural world. Because we relate to horses within Indigenous Earth-based worldview, we view them as our partners, colleagues, friends and relations. Horses can teach us a great deal about nature, if we let them.
We are currently updating our website. Please be patient while we add information about ways you can become involved through lessons and clinics in Colorado and Wyoming this summer and fall. If you want to learn more now, please email Director Joanne L. Belasco, Esq. and ask how you can take weekly lessons or attend a clinic.
Women and Horses is a program that uses all of the different ways of knowing and learning about the natural world, along with women’s psychology and ways of knowing, to explore the horse-woman relationship. More information coming soon!
The Voice of the Horse Blog addresses some of the major issues facing the horse-human relationship today. Because Tapestry operates out of Indigenous Earth-based worldview, The Voice of the Horse gives you the opportunity to learn about the world of horses from a perspective you have probably never experienced before.
The Trailmaster Program explores the interrelationship between humans, horses, and the land through trail riding. The inaugural ride occurred at a meeting held in Palo Duro Canyon, TX, in November of 2003. Research conducted about the effect of that trail ride on the accompanying meeting to plan a film on Indigenous Science (funding provided by a grant from the National Science Foundation) lead to plans to conduct further research into the effect of horses taking people on trail rides, whether in a meeting setting or individually.
You can also follow links on this page to learn about our supporters, visit a page full of wonderful horse-related gift items, and/or make a donation to help us conduct our research and education about the horse-human relationship! For questions about the program, please feel free to email Director Joanne L. Belasco, Esq.
