Trust, Respect, Relationship Today I had a thought provoking conversion with one of my wonderful clientsā¦ He asked me this ā¬ļøāHow can I develop a better relationship with my horse?ā My answer: through listening Every time Iām faced with a challenging case, where for example numerous therapists and vets have been involved and the horse is still lame with āinconclusiveā results, my approach is always the same I listen Listen to the owner Listen to the horse.Horses are always communicating with us. #horses #healyourhorse

Hitting a plateau with training/ competing? Often when working one-to-one there is always a personalised approach to not only the treatment but also the after-care. When I check in or Iām called back to Horse , maybe six months or a year later and either the same problem has returned or a new problem has risen. The owners will say should I go back to what I was doing?I find this quite tricky because Iām like; why did you stop doing it?If itās working, why stop doing it?And maybe this is a human thing, but we are all impatient and when something makes us feel better we suddenly jump forward into okay that worked now whatās next? When what we should be thinking?Is oh my God that worked. Iām gonna keep doing that because itās working.šŖš»#healyourhorse #horses #horselover #horsemanship #horsechiropractor
3 Signs your Horse is Talking to you 1ļøā£Changes in their behaviour. This will include ANY changes; walking away from you, turning to face you when you are tacking them up, moving away from the mounting block. 2ļøā£They come to you. Placing their head, nose, body near you. In these moments, listen. Go still and see where they place themselves around you. 3ļøā£They are not doing what YOU want them to do! It is so easy to get frustrated and annoyed when our horseās donāt do what we want them to do. They are not being naughty, or disobedient. There is always a why! Does your horse show any of these signs above? #HorseTraining #EquestrianSupport #ListenToYourHorse #HealYourHorse #HorseTraining #EquestrianCare #HealYourHorse #HorseBehaviour #healyourhorse #horsetherapy #onlinesupport #horselover #horsechiropractor #horsemassage #horserider #horsetherapist

I took this video over two weeks ago and felt inspired to share it with you following on from the summit last weekend in Birmingham.Reflecting back on the guest speakers vulnerable stories I wanted to share this moment that I captured on video.It was something that Will Rogerās spoke about, he shared his story about asking horses for advice. This was powerful in so many ways: 1. Masculine energy sharing a vulnerable and human story.2. How following your flow state which for me often comes when working with horses may just lead me to the answers that I am seeking.Thank you, Will šMy intention is to spend more time talking less and feeling more. Iām someone who has a very busy mind that struggles to sit in silence and not react to those thoughts so instead of hitting my head a brick wall and making myself do this I am choosing to do something that creates my flow state naturally, and therefore I donāt attach myself to my thoughts, and start to feel more with my body. For me, this is what happens when I do I suppose we call it liberty work with horses Thank you for reading. Will Rogers Horses Warwick Schiller's Attuned Horsemanship
