Become Trustworthy
This is the main way in which we can support the trust of our horses. We must be the source of positive experiences in their lives and through repetition and building of the confident, pleasant encounters - we actually "crowd out" the negative memories in time. This is a Natural Path of simple, mutual respect that brings Harmony to our relationship with Horses. We explore these concepts in Lessons, Workshops and Publications. The ART of Horsemanship is the expression of its creativity and what you are creating is a relationship. If your horse (or dog or child) has mostly negative experiences in his "Well", with every new experience he faces, his expectation will be something negative! Only by patiently and consistently adding positive "drops"/experiences, can you overcome the initial response of fear, anger or apprehension that is generated by negativity. And a being whose experiences have been mostly positive will be open and often eager to face a new experience. Learn More... |

Our lives - and those of our horses are filled with experiences. You can think of these as drops like water that fill a "well". Of a positive or negative nature; these "drops" determine what we expect from current circumstances and experiences!
