Rose: “I wrote these columns in 2007 and 2008 for the Dutch horse magazine ‘De Paardenkrant’, which published them in these years. In 2009 and 2010 I wrote several new columns for this book, which have never been published elsewhere. All columns are based on my personal experiences in the world of horses. My different internships, employers, clients, instructors, friends, acquaintances AND horses have always been a great source of inspiration. I hereby like to express my heartfelt thanks for that.”
