IS A HORSE BORN A PROBLEM? MY ANSWER IS NO THEY COME INTO THIS WORLD AS BEAUTIFUL FREE SPIRITS WITH SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE IN THE FIRST SECONDS OF LIFE. Foals are born with an ability to quickly escape from predators, normally a foal will stand up and nurse within the first hour after it is born. They can trot and canter within hours and most can gallop by the next day. So where does the “problem horse
” originate from? Some like people can be from bad parenting the horse that has not been emotionally educated by their mother can put up barriers to others who try to offer them emotional support. Many problems are caused at the time of weaning something that is carried out in this world in a thoughtless way. Many a foal grows into an insecure horse due to what man does at this most important time of a foal’s life. The happiest youngsters are those who have been sympathetically weaned over a period of weeks and who are not taken from their mothers sometimes never to see them again, damaging the youngster and the dam. From then on the youngster is ruled by man we decide what it is fed how it lives what training methods are used etc….so could the problems that can occur at anytime in a horses life also be caused by man?? People are beginning to listen and want to learn and by looking at my website I hope you are one of them. Perhaps you have heard them or felt it the buck, bite, the “Bad Behaviour”? Perhaps this is the only way he can get his point across. Does this make him a bad horse or just misunderstood? Are we not wrong to take such a beautiful generous animal and expect them to fit into our world ? Surely we should learn from them – their spirit, soul, beauty-and join them in theirs. Have you thought how much your horse has to teach you in life in general, they help me to heal people with depression and deep rooted emotional issues that the horse manages to help them release. They are sensitive kind and loving and yet we seek to rule their lives to fit in with ours. Just think how amazing your partnership could be, if you started to listen and to work together, by listening I mean learn to translate their every move. To communicate with them in a way that they understand using body energy and to dance at liberty with your horse. Learn that if you want your horse to be confident and clear-minded then you need to approach your horse with these characteristics, if you want consistency you need to give it you can not pretend because your horse will read your body energy. So how do you speak to your horse? the same way that they speak to each other - with your body. You can't help doing it as soon as you walk into your horses view you are not only being measured up and read but, you are also conveying your own messages. Makes you think doesn't it.......A change in your life can also bring about a change in your horse. Perhaps things are happening at home or work which are making you angry or upset but to the outside world you are maintaining a happy face. Your horse only sees the real you not your false-self so his behaviour will be caused by confusion as the person in front of him is not the one he senses through your energy. Any horse which has been traumatised in the past for example through injury, accident, illness, bad handling, abuse, neglect etc. no matter how long ago can still be affected. It can leave a block in their energy field, equine therapy aims to restore balance by releasing the blocked memories and emotions and rebalance the energy field which if left can lead to so called behavioural problems, they have a voice let it be heard. Makes you think doesn’t it contact me and we will work through the problem in a way that your horse and you will understand. Think how amazing your relationship could be if you both speak the same language.
