Connection Happens in Presence
Horses, by nature, are deeply attuned to their surroundings—their survival depends on it. In the wild, there is no room for distraction; every member of the herd shares the responsibility of awareness and safety. Even when living in other environments, this remains their primary concern.
If you wish to experience the invisible bond between you and a horse, you must step into this shared presence and make them feel safe.
Making a horse feel safe is not just about treating them well or ensuring their physical well-being; true connection comes from being fully present.
For a horse, your presence means trust. It means that if a potential danger arises, you will sense it too—perhaps even before they do. If they pause to listen, you listen too. If they notice something in the distance, acknowledge it, then reassure them with your calm energy.
Even in simple moments—if your phone rings or someone walks by—stay connected. Keep a hand on their shoulder, maintain awareness, and remain in the present moment with them.
Can you do that? Can you be present? Do you feel calm?
Do you recognize the feeling of safety?
This is where our practices come together.
What we explore in yoga on our journey with the first chakra, is the same foundation we cultivate with horses.
This is how being with horses transforms into a profound spiritual and healing practice.
- Conscious connection with Horses - is a class that takes place at Casa Shakti every Monday at 17.30 (max 3ppl) or something you can request individually ✨
