Nasty Tasting Treats


Years ago, I had an orphaned colt who constantly "mugged" us for treats and didn't understand that he was a horse and not a human. I had made some herbal treats with peppermint leaf, chamomile, calendula, garlic, slippery elm and rosemary. The horses did NOT like the taste of them... so, thinking about this, I decided to offer a nasty tasting treat to Dharma Gita every time he demanded a treat or tried to nip (I'd push the treat in his mouth). It worked. He would seem pleased at first; then he looked distressed (like saying YUCK) and would spit out the treat. Very quickly he quit the behavior!

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.
