Books with Spirit - Horse Riding

Yesterday we finished a private clinic here at Tanjil South that featured an amazing lady and her Friesian “soul connection” - her horse for those of you who don’t talk like that yet! This little horse (not so little, really) had been really intimidating. He would barge straight in on you, had had HEAPS of training costing lots of money and the only way she could get hin to stand off her was to be REALLY hard on him - which didn’t fit with who she was, who she wanted to be or with the relationship that she wanted with her horse.

We pretty quickly made the discovery that there was a connection with his “oh shit I’m dead” zone and his barging. (See the electronic Bobby’s Diaries - Straight From the Horse’s Mouth to You” for an explanation of that concept click here to buy it now.) And nobody learns anything in the oh shit zone except survival reactions. So we went about establishing a place of deep comfort for this lad and then introduced our need to have him stand off us in the “not too sure zone” where all thinking learning takes place.

We made the discovery that most if not all of his training had taken place in the “oh shit I’m dead zone” and that although he deeply wanted to be close to his person and be with them, he was terribly afraid of what would happen when he got close (whacked for barging on top of them!) - thus he lived his life in a constant and awful fear of humans.

We realised that Friesians had been war horses and as such had been selected for their ability to keep going ahead through fear and even pain (that’s where the barging comes from), and for their devotion to their person. (Lots of other characteristics too I’m sure, but these were the ones that were particularly noticeable throughout the clinic!)

We learned the art of having major breakthroughs by not doing very much at all. (And that’s the understatement of the year)

We learned that a HORSE’S heart can sing and almost burst with joy too when us slow humans “get it”.

We had the most amazing days in the most gentle and connected space.

That was my week, what was yours?
