The Commitment to Change
Every year I receive hundreds of emails and phone calls from people worldwide who are at various stages in their horsemanship journey.
There is a very clear separation between those who are seeking to learn how to work with the horse versus those who are wanting to achieve fast results.
For those who choose the less popular path of raising their self -awareness, and allowing both themselves and the horse time as the relationship evolves, it can feel very isolating.
Learning to let go of distractions and be mentally available to recognize, and address the horse and what he is experiencing, can present a very steep learning curve without a support system for the human.
At times, because this less common approach is not frequently taught, the journey can feel as if one has alienated themselves from the mainstream horse world.
I want to throw open the door for fun dialogue to offer those who perhaps are experiencing, or are questioning "the system" to help equine enthusiasts realize they are not alone.
There are many individuals around the world, every day, who are prioritizing quality with the horse, and all of the struggles, emotions, questions along the sometimes unclear journey are shared by others.
Having read some of Juliette's writings of her decade-plus journey on a path moving away from her initial traditional horse education, I think she's expressed really well what many others may be feeling.
I thought it would be a great opportunity for folks to hear about her experiences and realize change is possible.
