Good Dogs, Smart Horses


I watched a horse figure out how to take off his fly mask by actually stepping on the very edge of it and pulling up with his head. My own gelding drifts over to the mounting block and stops with my foot right over it like "okay, time to dismount!" - one of our dogs checks on us all during the night, making her way through the house and looking at the people and other dogs... I wonder if she's watching to make sure we're breathing? I do that when a horse is lying flat on his side in the field, unmoving. I instinctively see if his side is moving with each breath. Animals and people can all be caretakers and "watchers" of those we love. And the acute awareness that I see in the dogs and horses that I know makes me certain that they understand us on multiple levels. They know what we say and they know what it means. No one could convince me otherwise!

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.
