There is nothing like having a horse that is connected to you.
When you have a mental connection with your horse, you are attuned to your horse’s feelings, responses and reactions. You know ‘who’ your horse is as an individual. You understand how best to approach and develop him, and you care about his confidence and quality of experience in your interactions. In return, your horse feels your connection and is interested, calmed, and inspired by it.
A person who is more focused on techniques and tasks is usually not very connected to how the horse is perceiving or experiencing the process; and a horse that is more focused on other horses, the barn, or looking for danger is not mentally connected to the handler or rider.
The art lies in not only wanting that mental connection but also knowing how to get it! In this Module you will learn about the attitude and approach that will help you to achieve it through compassion, empathy, thinking like a horse, and then specific exercises that teach your horse to look to you for safety and direction, just like they do the alpha members of the herd.
When you have a horse that really wants to be with you, that listens to you, that answers you, there is nothing like it anywhere.
