Many of us have heard of and even sorted ourselves using the Myers-Briggs Personality Test to better understand ourselves and our partners. But did you know you can now test your horses? Join Melisa and Dane today as they break down the meaning of their own Myers-Briggs results and how Melisa translated this understanding into her book, Equusology, co-written with Caroline Fitzpatrick. Typology helps us better understand and get along with others, so why not apply it to our equine relationships? Listen in to learn how you can do just that!
