When I get a call from an owner about a potential horse to participate in training, a lot runs through my mind during the conversation.
Years ago I was asked to do demo, but the horse they brought was having a really hard time.
He'd never left home, never been away from his pasturemates, nor been around a crowd, PA system or indoors. He was running around slamming himself into walls of the demo round pen.
The spectators collectively leaned back as I walked into the horse's chaos.
Did I "perform" or stay stuck on worrying what I was supposed to be showing off that day? No. The only thing that mattered was helping this scared horse find a safe place mentally, emotionally and physically.
Did I have a flag, ropes, whips, or gadgets? No.
It was such a wonderful opportunity to teach people about what an initially seemingly overwhelming scenario can turn into if the human supports the horse rather than critiques him.
One of the greatest challenges in my job is finding the balance of how to best help the human so that they can better help their horse. Horse trainer quote
I meet a lot of folks with dangerous horses who experienced a specific "training program."
In case you need to hear it...
A past student years ago had these bracelets made for me after hearing me incorporate the saying in my teachings..
I usually give them out at the end of my Horsemanship clinics. Good on you...
For showing up.
For trying.
For searching.
For persisting through the challenges.
For seeking change within.
For not just accepting surviving.
For having to become honest with yourself in order to make long lasting changes.
Good on you...
