Books with Spirit – Joyfulness between horses and people

 I read a brilliant article on Carolyn Resnick’s blog yesterday and wanted to share my thoughts about it. 

You can read her full story on the link that I have put in below.  The 9 year old Carolyn had a problem with a bucking horse that she was training and asked her Dad for advice on what to do with it.  His reply was “Well, Carolyn, what are you not afraid to do with that horse?” 

We (the royal “we” of my horses and me) have been doing some deep and meaningful work about the fear and axiety and frustration that we feel too often around horses, for quite some time now.  “Zen Connection with Horses” will give you a complete mental shift about all those “negative ” emotions – your horse’s and your own.  And it’s a mental shift that will blow you away with its power and simplicity.  

When you have the understanding and elimination of fear that comes from this book and audio lesson set, then you can take a step forwards from Carolyn’s Dad’s brilliant advice and next time you are with your horse you could start your time with your horse by asking yourself “What can I do with my horse right now that feels really, really good for both of us?” 

With feeling really, really good as the foundation, with feeling really good as the normal thing for you and your horse, then you can come out of that state for a short period of time, while you work on bringing the next step into feeling really, really good too. 

And keep on adding steps into that foundation of feeling really, really good – until everything that you want to do with your horse is part of that foundation and feeling really, really good. 

I’m laughing to myself re-reading this article, as I notice how many “feeling really, really good”s there are.  But that is because there is so much of that feeling when we understand and then deliberately and consciously use the connection that we have with our horse. 

Just imagine what it’s going to be like to have everything that you do with your horse, feeling really, really good – no fear, no anxiety, no frustration – just a happy co-operative horse and a seriously happy rider.  Hmmm… 

The complete mental shift about fear and anxiety and frustration that you will get from applying the insights that you will get from Zen Connection with Horses book and audio lessons set, will give you the “feeling really, really good”.  And the book comes with my personal “love this book or get your money back” guarantee.

Carolyn’s story is a great one and her way of being with horses is exceptional.  Click here for the link to her blog for that lovely article.   While you’re there, have a look at Carolyn’s posts over the last month or so about the Uberstreichen excercises – they are excellent too.
