Horsewomanship
The Horsewomanship Manual is now in the Naturalpaths Store -
http://www.shop.naturalpaths.org/ - it is the manual from the class I taught for the Dona Ana Branch of New Mexico State University in the 1990's. It is for men and women. The principles are just gentle, relying upon consistency, clarity and compassion to COMMUNICATE with horses instead of force them into submission. But it helps us to understand that boundaries are necessary because horses are bigger than we are and stronger than we are. We have to use our heads and think about how we relate to them. Their experiences are like drops of water in a well - positive experiences and negative experiences... what kind of life experiences fill your horse's "well"? The Manual has a chart for working out a program that adds positive drops!
Horses Heal Us
If you can get you out of the way when you come to your horse, he will show you how to shift your position within the field to a place that supports and nurtures your soul. It's all about how you feel and you empower those feelings and they create your reality and your horse is ready to show you how to feel magnificent.
Compassion not Compulsion
In all of our relationships, the light of integrity is held by Compassion. If we consider something other than our own motives and agendas, we can open to living a real life outside of the world of illusion. With animals, we will establish communication instead of domination. With loved ones, we will share our very souls. With humanity, we will become beacons of reason and unconditional love. We will shift ourselves and those who resonate with Nature to a higher kind of love and life where the demoralizing of others is simply not accepted.
