Learning Something New

LaurieFixPhotography
That is what I think

 

I don’t know about you, but sometimes learning something new brings out the not-so-best in me.  In the Obstacle Workshop this past weekend, it was interesting to see how horses and people alike worked through a variety of obstacles and situations.

Some went along with a smile on their face and curious about the new and interesting things.

Others, the horse pictured left, had other opinions.

And that is what I think of you

In teaching people with their horses, I encourage the development of dialog.  In dialog, both parties are allowed to express themselves.  I believe this is important in developing trust with horses.

I may not like what a horse has to say, but I give them the chance to express themselves anyway. I try not to have opinions about what they say, just stay focused on the dialog at hand.

Is that all you wanted? That is so easy!

Learning something new sometimes brings out the worst in us.  As partners with our horses, it is our job to allow expression and offer redirection and new suggestions. With patience and persistence, learning something new doesn’t have to be all that bad.

THANKS to Laurie Fix for the great photos.

I did it! Ozzie and I published!

I did it!  I finally published the story of Ozzie, the horse that changed everything for me!  Ozzie was with me for more than 25 years and is the reason I study horsemanship!  Many of you have met Ozzie, who passed away a year ago.  But few of you know about our early days together.  Ozzie was a challenging horse with a big personality, and I was madly in love with him, even though he was not suitable for me at all.  He would push me and cause chaos wherever he went in his early days.  Thanks to him, I sought out help from a friend who lead me to the path of horsemanship!  And I have never looked back! Don’t forget to get your copy on Amazon.com.
