Feel Cannot Be Taught, It Must Be Felt 💫🐴🤠🍀 In #NaturalHorsemanship, we often hear about "feel"—but what does that really mean? Feel isn't something I can teach in a lesson or show in a demonstration. It's not a set of steps to follow, a trick to master, or a skill to perfect. Feel is something much deeper. It's the art of being present with the horse, without any agenda or expectation. It's letting go of the need to control and simply being—with an open heart, ready to listen. A horse won’t learn to trust you because you teach it, but because you show up without pressure, without rushing. When you're not focused on what you want from the horse, you begin to sense what the horse needs from you. Feel is cultivated through time, not technique. It's in those quiet moments spent just being together, when you're not trying to "train" or "fix" anything. The connection is built slowly, over time, as you learn to read the #HorsesBodyLanguage, to listen to the unspoken words between you. It's the softness in your hands, the calm in your presence, the patience in your heart. True feel comes from the heart and can only be learned by being around the horse, letting go of your expectations, and allowing that relationship to unfold naturally. You don’t teach feel—you simply open yourself to it. When you’re present with an open heart, everything else falls into place.

Que penses-tu que le cheval voit quand il te regarde ? On pense souvent à son fonctionnement, la façon dont il pense et pourtant… on ne pense jamais à comment il nous perçoit. Et si c’était la base de tout travail avec les chevaux ? We often think about the horse’s functioning, the way he thinks, and yet...We never consider how he perceives us. What if it were the foundation of working with horses? #comportementalisteequin #horsemanship #horsetrainer #mustangtraining #wild #horsetraining #mustang #tamingwild #groundwork #cheval #chevauxsauvages #freedom #horselife #educateurequin #horsesofinstagram #horse
