Riding Misconceptions!
We often make
things more difficult than they really are!
Step, or keep
pressure on your stirrups, to keep them under your
feet.
In fact:
'Lift' your toe and tap on the
stirrup, and it [the stirrup] simply falls back under your foot!
The lesson: We do not have to place so much
pressure on the foot or stirrup! We must
learn to ride with the entire leg and good
upper body balance for support. The horse feels the tension of the 'taught' stirrup
leather --across their backs, causing tension
in the horse.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
YOU MUST PULL
on the horse's mouth, to stop them.
In fact: The horse
desires being asked, gently, so they feel
respected!
The lesson: The
Natural Horse is very willing --to show you Great
Respect --ONLY if you will learn to give it
back to them!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>>>>>>>>The
ultimate NON-horseman's question!
"What
can your horse DO?"
Typical traditional
answers are usually 'mechanical'...
---The Natural
Horseman's answer is NOT mechanical!
IN FACT-MY ANSWER IS ALWAYS the same:
"WHATEVER YOU ARE 'CAPABLE' of asking them
to do, according to their understanding, physical structure and ability! PERIOD!"
:) :) :)
WE MUST STOP INFLATING the EGO of SELF by de-grading
another, especially the
horse.
IN FACT: IF WE TRY
to understand the horse, so will
better understand each other!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Natural
Horse, can do almost anything a horse CAN do!
The natural horseman
knows howto ask them! (Of course, we are not speaking of
confirmation flaws or injuries)
MISCONCEPTIONS unfortunately involve human mis-guided information --to satisfy egotistic whims and demands
of uneducated humans.
SMART Compassionate Natural Horsemanship pulls it
together, making the best for both horse
and human.
What we are
trying to express, perhaps not so well, is how humans look down on
'natural' creatures, because
THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THEM!
So, WHO is
wrong? The horse --or us?
WHY must the
horse always 'conform' to human expectation?
Because we bought and paid for them
--with our hard earned money?
Isn't there a 'silent' message here?
DO we think we
are ALL powerful -rather than a small
part --of ALL
creation?
We must --learn
to UNITE --to blend as one!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Through natural intelligence, and free
thinking individuals, we know we must learn to work together, to find:
'The Connecting Link of Understanding and Acceptance between
beings!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's that --'Golden
Thread'--
that connects us directly
with 'Our Source' --with many turns and kinks
to teach us what we really need to learn through experience..
The horse helps us straighten that --'Golden
Thread'-- for a direct
line to the Divine...
When you make this
'direct connection' you must be open to receive the answers that you
need!
We must also
learn 'to feel 'again,
--rather than just responding!
You become
'Sensitized'
by the life 'Source'..
And that makes the best possible natural horseman!
'Unity Consciousness'--The answer to
a Prayer of the founder.
[Also --look up 'Laminin' in the dictionary, just another word 'heard within' by
the founder --always seeking answers. You will also see what holds it all
together.]
