Horses as Healers
Students Benefit from the Spiritual side of things

Many people feel a calling to the horse and for years it seems rather unexplainable.  They just want to be around them.  For the smell, the beauty, their aura.  Often there is an underlying reason we have those feelings.  Spending some time one on one with a horse can help those reasons surface, along with an open mind.  Just simply stroking the horse, listening to your inner guidance can bring you many insights.  I once learned that the lessons I was learning with and from my horse, were also lessons I needed to apply in my entire life.

In today's world we are very busy and look for immediate results.  The horse lives in the NOW.  They do not fret about yesterday nor do they worry about tomorrow.  When we can be with the horse in the moment despite what else is going on in our lives, we can learn to give the best of ourselves to him, and in turn it is a gift to us.

Book of the Month
Centered Riding by Sally Swift

Sally Swift is the pioneer of the balanced seat.  She offers insightful ways help the student attain the desired balance.  Miss Swift also does an outstanding job of connecting the mind and body.  In an effort to ride centered, we need not only be physically centered on the horse, but centered within our own bodies and within our minds.  There are many tips and visual aids to help with that also.

The techniques in the book serve a rider well, especially when used during a warm up under saddle.  I urge all of my students to pick up a copy of Centered Riding.  The drawings of our skeletal system alone make it worth a trip to the library or book store.
