Do you ever talk to your horse? Stop battin' your eyes like a toad in a hailstorm, of course you do.
My point is that your heart is the ‘Catfish Creek’ of your life, that secret fishin’ hole where you can self-talk. Be kind during both sides of the conversation as you have that heart-to-heart talk with your horse this season.
In truth, the horse can speak to the heart like no other animal can. Ever wonder why the horse is so dramatically useful in therapeutic programs with the oh-so-many-damaged people in the earth? It is because the horse speaks courage—what we all need to hear as we ride forth and conquer the dragons of this life. With one look into your eyes the horse looks into your heart and declares, “You can do it.”
Stories, myths and legends captivate us. They capture us because they bring up the great matters of the heart. There’s always a strong hero in demand, and a beautiful heroine that needs to be rescued—hopefully involving an epic horse scene. Are you ready to ride out for your life’s next great adventure? What’s your heart telling you? I’m telling you to always make sure to be yourself, unless you can be Zorro. Then be Zorro.
I have been training horses for over 30 years and value the western horse lifestyle in my approach to training. Giving clinics and seminars on how to reach your full potential with your horse through the training foundation of Cowboy Dressage makes me happier than a full breeze from a corn-eatin’ horse.
I appreciate your feedback.
