Thursday Thoughts with Elizabeth- Episode 13!
The Obstacle is the Way!!!
When we are facing a perceived setback with our horses, we should ask ourselves “What is the opportunity here for growth?!”

Look what Sue and Ed accomplished today! 😍🙌🏻
I just walked around the corner to this wonderful discovery!
Ed has been haltered before but not on his terms! This is the next step for us in introducing him more to the world of humans in a compassionate and co-creative way!
Sooo proud of you Ed and Sue and I cannot wait for the next steps in Ed’s journey. The world is your oyster pal! We love you!!! 😍🙌🏻

Our Magical Mustang friend, Ed, from @great_escape_sanctuary , graduated from his pen to the track where he will have the freedom to move with his new friends!
He followed his stall neighbor (and future BFF) Phoenix to explore their new territory! He met Cash and Nero over the fence, and got to kick up his heels!
We have been waiting to release Ed onto the track until he had a friend to share the experience, and most importantly we wanted to be sure he was ready to be haltered and handled on his own terms! He’s shown us lately that he is interested in every person who walks by, so we decided that it’s time!
For track integrations we typically walk the horses around by hand to let them see all of the boundaries first, but Ed got to explore it at Liberty! What a blast to watch! 😍🐴🙌🏻

Well it’s been 20 years since I did a shoulder stand on a horse and this was SoHo’s second time ever as a vaulting horse! I think it went pretty well overall! 😅 Horse happiness is our priority at Hatha Equus (which is in part why I stopped vaulting back in the day) so I was delighted that Soho told us that she was totally fine with monkeys crawling all over her! 😂🤷🏼♀️ She seems to enjoy the simplicity of the job and of course the attention and cookies she gets from the cuties who were learning how to better their seat and confidence…and of course practicing their falls! 😅 Thank you Soho!! We all had sooo much fun! 😍🙌🏻🐴🦄
