It's About The Horse

I guess I felt this might be a bit much for some in normal iath, so posting here with all my like minded, loaing, woo wi friends. Last week I did a centered riding lesson on Eclipse. My mind was spinning with all the stuff going on in my life. Big spinning. I hopped on, and Eclipse's eyes got huge, and she went right brained immediately. I brought her around and hopped off, (Carol was smiling because she saw it all happen, and knew I knew) and we got me grounded and present. Got on again, and Eclipse gave me the best ride EVER.
My theme this year, gotta have a theme, is connection. How many times have I gotten on and unplugged? Not been with my horse? I get on, take them away from the herd, and leave them! No wonder. I expect them to take care of me? Scares the crap out of a lot of horses. That's why they call some horses, babysitters. Poor things.
Something to think about if you find yourself in the company of a horse today. When they look into your eyes, are you giving them heaven, or are you giving them hell?

Wow, Deb fuel for thought for sure. I did centered riding clinic a few years ago and have to say there was a lot of lessons that I took home. Love to do another one...sadly people here are not really interested in bringing someone in

Yes Deb

The day I got my ribs broken....... I wasn't at all with her, I was in a hurry, letting time dictate my speed in "approach and capture." Boy did I pay for that

Connection, a good theme for the year

Wanda, you're home!! How was your trip?

There is a centered riding teacher close enough for me to trailer Strider once he gets confident loading and the herpes is gone. You have gotten such great results that I have been thinking about going to Cindi.
