𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡…
When I started to understand that I need to be less human like, in terms of how I think, move and act I started to think more like a horse.
Wow, that above statement sounds crazy. But hold on😂…
As predators we have tunnelled vision, meaning if we see something we want, we find ways and means to get it. As predators we move in a certain way especially when we are wanting to get something, imagine if you were out hunting, you’d walk slowly, in a straight line and you’d have tunnel vision the only thing you will see is the prey you are hunting.
What I’ve learnt from horses is that humans are not aware of their surroundings at all, most of us go about our day without noticing much of what’s happening around us.
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐦𝐚 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤, it’s made me hypersensitive to my surroundings because I feel I need to protect myself at all times.
This is like a blessing and curse, having increased peripheral vision means I can think more like my horses, and notice things they do. But on the flip side, it can make me too hypersensitive to my surroundings. For example, I remember riding out with Blue and a bird flew out of a tree, I spooked and Blue didn’t😂… this is why I said “ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡…”
Horses have SO much to teach us, all we have to do is listen. ♥️
I’m looking forward to another day of learning🐴
