In domestication, we isolate them – move them from paddock to stable to yard – separating them from their companions for our convenience, then find them fragile, anxious and difficult to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn immersive and transporting memoir, \u003ci\u003ePerfectly Themselves\u003c\/i\u003e offers intimate portraits of horses living freely in the company of their own kind, from Aotearoa to the Outer Hebrides, Iceland, and Mongolia. Underpinning Letteri’s research is a question sparked by a 33,000-year-old carved horse that seems alive with vitality and ease: what did we once know about horses that we have forgotten?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart travel narrative, part intellectual inquiry, and part personal reckoning, \u003ci\u003ePerfectly Themselves\u003c\/i\u003e challenges long-held assumptions about human–horse relationships, inviting readers into a more compassionate way of seeing them – not as objects of human desire, but as beings perfect in themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Upstart Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47951146615020,"sku":"9781776923236","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781776923236.webp?v=1784170210","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/perfectly-themselves-by-abby-letteri-9781776923236","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
