"To produce this exceptional documentary, Stormy May 'gave up' her horse training career. She set off on a mission to find better and this video portrays what she learned and experienced on the journey, which will astound the viewer who is new to this kind of horse-human relationship. 

This beautifully produced DVD, featuring Stormy and the visionary horsemen and women she interviews (Mark Rashid, Linda Kohanov, Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling, Alexander Nevzorov and Carolyn Resnick), clearly demonstrates how horses do have a gift to share and that the future of horse-human relationships is looking much better. 

Footage of what is typical in today's training and treatment of horses is shown in stark contrast to the gentle, elegant and natural ways these folks relate to their horses and do amazing things with them, also shown. 

We can be better horse people and The Path of the Horse challenges us to transcend. Thanks to Stormy May and her very impressive work, we have a place to start. This is a must-see, must-share video. Here's hoping its impact on the horse world will spread far and wide fast."

"In this breathtaking documentary, producer Stormy May recounts her unusual search for a more meaningful path of her own. 

After years of training horses and riders, she began to see "something lost" in the horse during the process. She sought help from six visionaries, people working in the most innovative ways with horses today and she found more wisdom, evolution and higher consciousness than she could have imagined. The film features Mark Rashid, Carolyn Resnick, Linda Kohanov, Kim McElroy, Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling and Alexander Nevzorov.

All of these equestrians use similar principles, achieving astonishing results by focusing on trust and passive leadership, sharing space without agenda, listening more closely to horse language and spirit and increasing self-understanding, with no coercion or discomfort involved. The possibilities, for both horse and rider, are incredible and may not yet be visible to all

The Path of the Horse, through carrot rather than riding crop, gently encourages average owners to view their equine friend with fresh eyes. The questions touch our hearts. Are threats of pain acceptable in eliciting desired behaviour from any living creature? Will love, praise, affection and friendship produce better results? 

The truth may lie in the dramatic sequence of photographs shown towards the end of the film. These startling photos; taken at a Russian Trail Riding Competition, capture the pain and fear expressed by horses being cued, in what we commonly view as acceptable ways, to perform for that ribbon. 

Attitudes and practices in the horse-human partnership are shifting. "The next step" requires new patience; flexibility and creativity on the part of the horse owner. The outcomes, so dearly demonstrated in The Path of the Horse, are magnificent and inspiring. Riding communities win find this a provocative film to view and discuss. 

Stormy May is a lifelong horsewoman who is able to combine her background in fine art, photography, graphic design and marketing with her passion for the beauty of horses."
