For the joy of the horse

20/04/2022

"Every time in my learning I felt a breakthrough, I have opened a door to find my horse on the other side, waiting, saying, "It's about time; I have been waiting for you." After time, there would be another breakthrough, and there he was again. The only limits I have found have been my own." -Dominique Barbier, Meditation for Two.

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?
-
We are like all other animals and yet are different from all other animals. Specifically I am pointing to the complex motives that animate us.
-
As with all things in life the WAY you carry out an action effects the results of that action.
-
Therefore what motivates you in relation to your horse directly shapes the outcomes experienced.
-
I challenge you to meditate on this and seek what is the primary motivation you carry arround your horse.
-
Awareness gives you a chance to choose the shape you and your horse fill.
-
For the joy of the horse!

MASTERY
-
"Purposeful practice is characterized by four things: specific goals, intense focus, frequent discomfort, and perhaps most importantly, rapid feedback.
-
As Proverbs 12:15 says, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.”
-
For the Christian, the purpose of mastery isn’t our own fame and fortune. We pursue mastery primarily for the glory of God and the good of others.
-
And it is simply impossible to know if we are loving and serving others well through our work if we aren’t regularly seeking their advice and feedback."
-
-Jordan Raynor MASTER OF ONE

"We tend to think of the miracles of the Gospels as interruptions in the natural order. Yet German theologian Jürgen Monltmann points out that miracles are not an interruption of the natural order but the restoration of the natrual order. We are so used to a fallen world that sickness, disease, pain, and death seem natural. In fact, they are the interruption."
-Dane Ortlund, pg. 31 Gentle and Lowly

In Portogallo con Nuno Oliveira (Dressage Magazine, agosto 1974)
- “Perché non partecipa alle competizioni ufficiali?”
Nuno: - " la competizione non mi interessa. Da un lato, distrugge lo spirito del cavallo, meccanizzandolo all'estremo. Sono interessato a cercare di capire il carattere del cavallo, nel vedere l'evoluzione del suo comportamento, nel creare qualcosa con lui, e queste cose non possono essere giudicate in punteggiatura, a volte quando sono con un cavallo, ho la sensazione di non sapere nulla in fatto di equitazione, che ho bisogno di riscoprire tutto, ed è questo che è eccitante. Nella competizione internazionale di dressage quando vedo i cavalli recitando la loro lezione così perfettamente che assomigliano a macchine senza anima... "

Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
