True connection and trust begins with touch….🐴🙏
Sometimes we forget to slow down and breath, always thinking of what we have to do next…
Horses live in the moment…
And are sensitive to touch…
Next time you are with your horse, before you brush & saddle up, take a few deep breaths, slowly and softly run your hand over your horses body, begin at the base of the ear, notice any reaction, softening of the eye, worry in the eye, flicking of the ears, moving away from your touch, lowering of the head, licking, chewing, biting, looking at your hand, turning away from you and so on…
Theses are all signs something is happening in that area, when you notice a change in the horse, stay on that spot with your hand, use a gentle circular motion for about 20/30 seconds, watch for a softening in the eye, then move on..
Feel for any hot or cold spots on the body, or tightness in an area, this will help you be proactive to a minor injury before it becomes a big one…
Through this wonderful action daily with your horse, they start to trust and connect with you more as you are slowing down, tuning in, breathing and being present in their world…
Enjoy your time with your beautiful horses..
