Tom would often carry his own copy of True Unity with him when doing clinics and he would make a point of highlighting certain sentences or paragraphs that he wanted to emphasize. There are 49 pages out of the 151 pages which Tom highlighted, (almost 1/3 of the book), this was to bring more focus and attention on the specifics he wanted people to pay attention to.  This is an invaluable aid in bringing a deeper focus to his words and what Tom wanted to get across to people.

First published in 1987, Tom Dorrance's book, True Unity, has become a classic to be read again and again.  True Unity introduces you to the idea of approaching the horse with a feeling of acceptance for the whole horse, which is how Tom sees and feels the horse. 

"What I know about the horse," says Tom, "I learned from the horse."  Reading True Unity is like a visit with Tom, you come away thinking on ways to improve your relationship with the horse.

 

Each stamp autographed copy of the book True Unity comes with a small booklet called "The Collection", which is a group of Tom's favorite poems an sayings.  Among these are: 

"The Master"
"The Man in the Glass"
