Get Grounded Equine Experiences with horses vs. making the horse 'work' for us. No space for monetizing, just humbly sharing my inspirations.

Foundation training that shifts perspectives on working at eye level via liberty, trail hiking, obstacle navigation and line driving.

This unhandled foal is a great source for learning about innate perceptions. The filly is helping this person better understand the extent of a horse’s sensory awareness. Unlike her mother, the filly has yet to be desensitized to the movement, the sounds, the smells of people. By observing how the filly responds, the experience also provides opportunity for the person to refine self awareness.

Panini’s turn!

It's always a rewarding moment when we introduce another one to the lines and the trails.

Thank you Hear Your Horse Whisper for publicly brining clarity and pointing to flawed logic.

This 9 yr. broodmare is starting structured learning. The slow steady progression of experiences minimizes reactivity and therefore helps her remain engaged with me. When starting, I prefer to build the working relationship through experiences where we move together at eye level rather than me being static and directing the movement. Where many teach lunging first, I let that skill progress out of many hours of moving together: leading at the head, following behind, directing from behind while moving with, then directing while being more static. Sound on you can hear her first experiences dragging the lines around/over the barrels.

In the evolution of my approach with training, I see the steps that walked me away from anthropocentrism. I no longer seek end goals where it is just me at the center and the horse is tethered circling around my whims.
Even though often presented as altruistic, emphasis on manipulation of the body of another has become distasteful. I want to understand the mental, physical, emotional parts of the horse so I can effectively enhance their lives, and not diminish.
With an anthropocentric perspective, within the realm of challenges or tasks, the obstacle is designed to test the willingness and ability of a horse to perform according to the direction of a human. I now see ‘the obstacle’ is a space where collective interest and engagement can take place. Instead of dictation, it is conversation and creating well being for each other.

Never Be Nor Accept ‘The Noise’ in a Relationship
The bombardment for attention. The distraction that is impatient, that doesn’t want you to have time to think. There is disinterest in who you really are, and emphasis on what you can do for them. The noise manipulates. It fills all the spaces with itself, its agenda, its dominance to control.
Noise used by one creates an attachment that derails the other.
Authentic communication brings relaxation into the vision of what we do together rather than what they do for us. The relationship forms strength by engaging in the common spaces and is not threatened by differences.
Be it horse/human or human/human……

Get Grounded Equine Focus Point
The self, the other, and the thing……Where the thing stands as the space for a dialogue to take place between the self and the other…..becomes a catalyst moment for raising awareness.

Lunging with a friend is the best motivator.
