"The horse knows. He knows the human twenty to one. It’s amazing how much he’ll get out of things, how he’ll fill in for as little as the human knows about him.
How that horse can handle it has always been a mystery to me. Put yourself in his shoes to live your whole life where no one knows who you really are. Well, I haven’t met a human yet who compares to a horse. A human couldn’t take it.
See, you can get a horse to do something if you’re tough enough, just like you can with a human.
But a willing communication is a different matter.
You fix it so the horse can try, then you allow him to work it out. You have to give him that dignity. You make your idea his idea.
I believe these colts, I trust them.
I always trust they can buck too. Don’t think they won’t.
Just keep fixing it up and let them find it. Don’t try to make it happen.
Prepare to position for the transition. The transition is the last thing that happens. And don’t try to be boss."

Ray's words are from an article 'Ray Hunt: The Cowboy Sage' written by Gretel Ehrlich and appeared in the Shambhala Sun, July 1998.

Beautiful morning at Sunset Equine.
The horses appear grounded and aware of their environment.
There’s nothing more peaceful than being with them.

Don’t ever wish for another’s pain in their heart to go away. Don’t try to fix or remove it, or hurry it away. Don’t wish for them to be just happy; over it and okay.

For this pain holds essential truth for them. It holds the very seeds of the healing their soul needs, even if they don’t consciously know that themselves. At some deep unfathomable level, in a place that’s unseen and unknown, a quiet wisdom is working away, sowing the necessary seeds for their soul’s next steps.

Their pain IS the essential soil of that healing. So to wish it away or gone or to be over-already, is to stop growth in its tracks.

Everyone’s soul works on its own time. It must never be hurried or denied. Honouring this simple yet profound truth is the best type of support you can give to someone in pain. To be a solid yet soft presence in their life, holding consistent attention and love for them, is the most “doing” you ever need to offer them as they journey forward, at their own pace and in their own way.

They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them

Lest we forget

The most important part of riding a horse is the groundwork that we do before we get on. Groundwork allows connection between the horse and rider, for the rider to become grounded and the horse to release excess energy.
