From a spiritual fiction book "The Teaching of Little Crow" by Angelina Heart. It offers a vision of how we can treat animals as equals in the New World.
"She had an internal sense of what provided comfort for Pegasus [her horse] and always used soft gentle ways with him. Using only a hackamore, she guided him without force of any kind. In fact, she but had to think the direction and he seemed to pick it up intuitively. She never jammed a metal bit into his mouth, nor burdened his back with a heavy saddle. They were just friends. He gladly carried her anywhere she desired, and when he led, she willingly went along for the ride."
