"The Sacred Art of Horsemanship"
Justin's second Book
A high‑performance guide to truth, energy, alignment, and sovereign leadership — for high performers with or without a horse.
By Justin W. Dunn
About the book
Horses don’t lie. They don’t pretend. They don’t abandon their truth—and neither can a truly aligned leader.
The Sacred Art of Horsemanship is more than a horsemanship book. It is a high‑performance manual for life, leadership, and self‑mastery, using the horse as a mirror—but written for anyone who is ready to become the best version of themselves in any situation life brings.
Whether you lead a corporate team, a military unit, a family, or just yourself, this book shows you how to align your inner state so you can adapt, respond, and lead with clarity and integrity—under pressure, in transition, and in the unknown.
You do not need to own or ride a horse to receive the full impact of this work. The principles inside apply to high performers with or without a horse.
What you’ll learn
-
The energetic truth of horses (and humans) How horses read intention, emotion, and alignment instantly—and how that same energetic clarity applies to boardrooms, briefing rooms, and high‑stakes environments.
-
Sovereign leadership Why true leadership begins with self‑leadership, and how to stop outsourcing your power to circumstances, other people, or external pressure. This is the foundation for corporate and military leadership teams who must perform when it counts.
-
Presence under pressure How to regulate your nervous system, manage your energy, and stay grounded in the middle of chaos—so you can make better decisions, communicate clearly, and lead with calm authority.
-
Alignment and adaptability How to align your thoughts, emotions, and actions so you can adapt to any situation life brings—from personal transitions to high‑stakes professional moments.
-
The horse as a guide (even if you never meet one) How the lessons horses teach about boundaries, trust, clarity, and energy translate directly into human performance, leadership, and personal transformation.

"A Horse to Guide Me"
Justin's first book
"The horse helps guide me to transcend nature and be free of the limitations of the material world. It's the unseen stuff in horsemanship."
Justin Dunn
Why you, or someone you know needs this book? Well, because….
Justin has been training horses and people over twenty years. His private Facebook Training Group (Justin Dunn Horsemanship - Adventures of the Enlightened Horseman) has over 500 training videos. Justin’s book represents his effort to condense his life lessons and understanding of becoming a better person/horseman in one place, and you don’t have to own a horse to get the benefits.
Justin writes about a proven concept of training and communication with horses to bring out the best in yourself and present the best version of yourself to the horse, as well as other people.
The key to success when playing with these remarkable animals is learning to control (four things) everyone possesses and can control.
The consistent training practices provided by understanding Justin’s 5 levels of horsemanship, implementing the training program he has developed to build a partnership with your horse.
A relationship with a mustang or any horse is based on thinking and doing what you want to become. Because whatever your horse is thinking and doing he becomes. Always present the best version of yourself to the horse, observe feedback, make necessary changes, and continue presenting to create a feedback loop or conversation to grow and develop a deeper connection, regardless of outside influences.
Justin explains how you can take control of yourself in the practice of horsemanship and become a better human being, create willingness in your horse to want to be with you because of who you are and have become. The peripheral benefits are infinite, and unique to you and your horse. The best part, you can practice what Justin has written in the real world away from the horse!
You really do owe it to yourself to buy this book.
