Be the example you wish your horse to be. There is alot in that sentance. A leader leads by example whether he relises it or not. Again alot in that, if you can figure out how to 'read between the lines' as such. Lets take in the first senario, 'flighty' horse as i described but we would like him to be with us.
We can approach this in a few ways, not all of which the horse will apreciate but lets concentrate on one he will, first physical greetings and ill explain "Intention" in the next chapter. There are many things and actions that could be done but i wish to do little, i wish to be calm, grounded, content in this moment and all around me. Each breathe i take deep into my stomach, i may close my eyes and simply listen.
Can i hear the horse, his rate of breathing, they way he moves accross the ground? I look not only with my eyes at a creature, i look into his eyes, i look at his soal. Can i see his emotions, his tendernous, his desires? Feel, can I feel him without touching? Can i feel his energy, strong, low, uneasy? Can i hear his mind, can i see his authentic being and can i feel his spirit in this moment?
If i cannot, then what valuble reasons do i give him to want to seek a connection with me? Perhaps i cannot yet tap into all those raw emotions and energy or intention waves, but if i genuinly try, he will know.
First meeting with Arthur - First greetings I do not invade his enviroment, i wait for invetation to it, i do not invade his personal space, i wait for the offer of first greetings.
