Books with Spirit – Joyfulness between horses and people

Last January, in a clinic here at Tanjil South, we had something happen that led to a discovery that will have major implications in the world of horses, horse training and horse-human relationships.

We were doing a saddling demonstrsation on young Boots, showing the clinic participants how we went about getting him back into his deep comfort zone after a fright with his saddle – when we suddenly realised that all the horses in the clinic were watching and giving physical signs that they were either releasing resistance or processing old trauma. 

One of these watching horses I had categorized as one of the ten most scared horses I had ever come across.  He was so profoundly effected, that afterwards he was like a “clean slate” – like a baby foal starting again, but this time with the opportunity to do it better.
