Valuing the Horse's Halt
A picture can tell us so much. This horse was new to the handler, was catagorized as a very "experienced and confident" animal. We had the opportunity to assess him at a clinic.
Horse Trainer Quote
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
Good on You
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...
What is Alternative Horsemanship?
I was recently asked about the "Alternative Horsemanship" and why I use that to describe what I do. So I thought I'd share with the group my answer...
The interpretation of "Alternative" Horsemanship is relative to your current perception and word association... as the human student's awareness and recognition of believing the horse's communication evolve, so does their translation of what Alternative "is."
Time and Horses
Enjoying the moment...
Even though there's always something "to do" on the farm, I've been intentionally working towards slowing my own thoughts down.
Yes, I check one thing off the list and add four more projects.
But that is irrelevant to the horses. As is time.
Learning to recognize and change how we respond to triggers that create an "urgency" in our own human patterns of thoughts, emotions and behaviors can completely alter the relationship with the horse.
The human can still have clarity, intention, and a goal, yet without adding the chaos that appears when the Conversation with the horse becomes a dictatorship rather than two-way communication.
