Books with Spirit - Horse Riding

Wow, it just keeps getting better and better.  Wendy in England asked for a discussion group based around the book “Bobby’s Diaries - Straight From the Horse’s Mouth to You” and a bunch of enthusiastic members came in over the next couple of days, enjoying connecting with each other all over the world, sharing their stories and their photos, touching each other’s hearts.   They are a seriously nice bunch of people, very supportive of each other, encouraging each other’s progress and the personal growth that is so much a part of great horsemanship.  I love it!

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?

Thoroughbred racing is one of the biggest areas of misunderstandings between horses and people in the horse world.  And we aim to have a positive influence on that.

I am thrilled to bits to announce that last Friday I was given my thoroughbred racing trainers license and we’re going racing Bobby’s Way.  I am soo… excited!!!

Celtic Peace is filled with excitement and power and soo… ready  to go. 

We had to dig really deep into my patience to establish a real deep comfort zone for him and now he’s using his body in a truly beautiful way that will enable him to make a come back as a 10 year old sprinter.  Yes, a ten year old sprinter!  It’s going to knock everyones socks off when he makes a successful come back!  That’s what’s going to make the industry sit up and take notice and hopefully wonder how they can have some of that too.

HE’S teaching US how to go about it - and we listen.  THAT”S going to be the key to our success.  We’ll be down at the track by next Monday I hope and find out how all the wonderful work he’s been doing at home has really been going.  Thanks to Melissa who has been doing interval work at a gallop up the six acre paddock and out in the bush and so far we’ve managed to stay bare foot too.

I rehabilitated Celtic Peace a long time ago after two damaged tendons, before he raced for the first time and then three years later, bought him back after he broke down in Darwin for the last time.  We fell in love with him the first time he was here and went hunting for him when he dropped out of the racing scene.  We had no idea at the time whether we were going to be able to pull off another miracle rehabilitation from blown knees and a damaged pelvis this time, but boy is he OK!

Eight of the ten people who helped me bring him home and now own him (or vice versa!) are “healers” in some form or other.
