The study of horsemanship
--without
human ego.
Own a horse-- index
We (STQH) have been coaching
on the thought --that the mind is our
'choice box’ --so to speak. We believe that
the brain, is --our God Given, that
makes us do what must be done, by instinctual
response -for survival, like breathe, and to
pull a hand away from a fire. The brain
will take in ‘information’ not ‘necessarily’
a fact, and the brain will untangle it to help you make
decisions quickly, while
giving the human mind the option --to choose and learn.
Okay, lets go back to the rider with
this ‘circle of ego' that is distracting the rider from the ‘Spiritual Dynamics’
of what riding the horse has to offer.
What
does the ego have to do with riding a horse
anyway? Is this
your question?
It has been ours!
The
answer is --nothing! That is nothing concerning the ‘mechanics’ of
riding, or traditional methods!
The
OTHER answer is
–‘EVERYTHING’!
That is --when it comes to
Soft

Quantum Horsemanship
'Spiritual Dynamics'
The
horse has no ego! How can
the horse, who is ‘in spirit’ by nature, be
expected to respond to us fully, if we are
projecting our ego onto them, not our ‘spirit’?
The horse
easily recognizes which ‘world’ [ego or spirit] that we project
to them!
They would ‘buck’ our ego if
they could! They
try to help us eliminate this [un-natural] ego
state of being, don’t they? They will fuss,
they will warn us, they reject us, and try to give us a
hard time. They
do not like being attacked by the un-natural,
non-spiritual, human ego, or the ego’s power
struggles that threaten the horse. They get
filled with flight or fight. They would choose to
get away from us, and not join with us on equal
terms. Our
egos have not allowed the horse the privilege of
meeting us on that ‘spirit’ level. When it's natural, they would easily connect
us!
This is what Monty Roberts is about. He meets
the horse, on their level. I THANK GOD
that Monty was the first [?] to open the eyes of
horseman all over the world. He
has made the non-traditional acceptable! Those,
including myself, no longer must struggle to hold
to our beliefs about the naturalness of the horse. Monty broke that ‘mind-barrier'!
Thank you
Monty! You
have made my life easier because I was finally accepted for what I was doing.
I am NOT a 'whisperer'
--I have preferred the word --'Listener'.
So, does this now begin to make
sense, how the horse will respond to a person, who
is open to ‘something’ that the
horse is attracted to? Could that
be, that this person knows the spirit of the
horse? (I didn’t say spirits) The ‘spirit’
that is there for the horse, you and I?
This
‘Spirit of God’ --is everywhere!
In the natural, and it
can be recognized!
It will also be learned, that the human EGO, is not of the Spirit of God. In fact,
the ego is in opposition to the Spirit of God. The
Human Ego, is in competition with the Spirit of
God!
The horse sees, and understands what
we cannot see.
They see, in their realm natural realm of
‘spirit’ understanding. I have
said many times.
There
is much to learn from the Natural Horse!
Is a Horse Whisperer (?)
--connected to the Natural Spirit of God? Do they
have a heart that is warm, and loving? Do they
‘breathe in, and out naturally? Are they
‘fluid’ in movement? Does the
‘natural’ horse do the same?
Isn’t it understandable how a natural
horse will connect to someone who recognizes
what the horse knows, to ‘breathe’ from the
same breath of spirit?
They
will also acknowledge the Ego in you, and this
will cause great caution, or for them to flee.

The domestic horse, is more ‘tolerant’
of human behavior and expectations. They have
had to adjust to human handling, the best way they
can, and it isn’t and wasn't always easy.
It has been most interesting to have
raised my horses without human expectations flaunted
upon them.
They
were wonderful teachers, and what they gave to me,
was and still is profound!
It is real, and is absolutely universal!
Monty Roberts studied the wild horse for a lifetime,
and come up with behaviors and attitudes of their
family life.
This also is universal, but on a different
level, at the same time. The wild
horse can be very abrupt, in learning. It can be
very quick, and easy, or very awkward, depending
on how you have learned to work ‘with’ them.
Our
study has been with the domestic horse,
traditional attitudes and programs
--how the two get along, or do not get along.
We
have searched for that missing element,
within the understanding --of the horse’s
needs, as well as
human
need and expectations, when it comes to the
relationship between horse, human, and
riding.
Our study is similar to Monty
Roberts, along only slightly different
paths.
We also reject the forceful
approach for starting horses.
Understanding,
makes starting the horse, a very simple
task.
Experience is vital, and learning
from someone with experience is essential.
Starting
horses can be unsafe --for the novice.
