Horsemanship: Humans Learning to be Present
What if...
We applied this first to Ourselves?
*Mentally
*Emotionally
and then
*Physically
when we are with the horse?
So many riders use the horse as time for the human to escape from reality or as an outlet from life's stresses.
Rarely do they recognize and address the Supportive Communication the horse needs from Us for them to stay mentally present, emotionally quiet, and physically reasonable.
The "Equine Partnership" will not be successful or retain quality if its foundation is based solely on the horse serving the human.
