Send us Fan Mail
Continuing the celebration of the horse for the lunar 'fire horse' year, Tanya talks about horses in mythology such as Pegasus, Sleipnir and the horse of power from Russian folktales. Tanya and Pete share a story from the First Nations Lakota people about the origin of the horse - known as Tashunka - a magical gift that was given and then taken away but returned many years later for all to ride. The session finishes with a traditional eastern European folksong about riding you horse alongside the Slavic mountains. Yeee ha!
