Happiness Divided by Two
»LOOK A HORSE IN THE EYE AND YOU SEE ITS HEART«
A ROCKING HORSE AND CIRCUS PONIES awakened his love for horses. Five of them have accompanied Elmar Schnitzer throughout his life, each one different in its way and character. One of them was different in a special way: Felix. From an early age a victim of ambition and excessive demands, the dressage stallion became the special offer in a sales stables. Exciting and moving at the same time, Elmar Schnitzer describes how Felix showed him his own limits. How he gave up his ego for him, learned to
feel like a horse, to act like one, and began to understand his language. He tells us how a deep relationship developed between the two of them and how they both found inner peace, the greatest form of happiness. But then, fate strikes unexpectedly…
Elmar Schnitzer was born in 1949 and works as a journalist. He was the assistant chief editor of several nationwide newspapers and magazines in Hamburg and Berlin,
as well as a member of the main editorial office of the weekly newspaper Welt am Sonntag. Animals have been a part of his life since his childhood days. His books A Fluke named Paul and Kalle for Everyone were both published by LangenMüller and were a great success.
