His clarity came when he realized how he wasn&#8217;t that different than the wild horses he trained and embraced a higher truth in God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amazing lessons he learned through horses should not surprise us. We&#8217;re are part of a whole universe full of beauty that all echoes the wisdom of God.
