concept of the New Horse by Carolyn Resnicks apprentice,LilaCarolyn has been sharing with me about this concept of the New Horse and what that is. She says the horses are hiding from us, we do no know who they are, because we do not pause and look and wait to understand who they are and that they want to communicate. When we allow and give the space for horses to emerge, we discover behaviors and receive communications from them that we never imagined. My experience suggests to me that the New Horse emerges in the space we generate together as part of a co-creative partnership, it happensi n the moments in-between. The new horse is always evolving, becoming more willing and surprising us with his creativity and partnership.
When we stop expecting our horse to engage from an idea of fixed performance and instead allow interactions from a place of wonder, focusing on the bond and respect in all interactions, we evolve together. This way, when and if we can do this, we CAN have an agenda, because we will see the opportunities of when to present the agenda to the horse that would cause the horse to want to participate.

Yes! I have noticed a marked change in my, aging gelding, Shaun. He is a new horse. I really don't recognize him now that we no longer ride and have confined our relationship to caretaker and sage. CR is absolutely right, I have given him the space to relate to me on a whole different level. Now that I have slowed down and started to ask his opinion he is now sharing much more. Love it
