The place of horse nature in Ayurveda.

As I am working on the ayurvedic approach of horse examination with determination of the nature type or imbalances, I thought it was important to also talk about the place of the "true nature" of the horse.

Ayurveda's philosophy is to live in harmony with the nature and with our own nature. In the context of the horses it means that taking into consideration and respecting the nature of horses by keeping in mind the wild horse model is essential. It's a question of wellness and health.

In Ayurveda the constitution (or nature type) of a subject will tell us what is the most appropriate treatment or care to provide. It will also help us to find a lifestyle that suit the subject. But the advice that we can get from knowing a constitution won't replace the importance of the natural lifestyle of horses. Ideally they will go together.

For that, Ayurveda has a very respectful and wholesome approach.
