thought pattern, you move on. In
short, horses heal.
Horses are your teachers and they
want you to learn. You need to be
open and listen. You will hear the
questions they ask you, and if that
sounds crazy let me tell you, the
questions that pop into your head
when you are with a horse are not
by accident and they will have
profound meaning. You just have
to be ready to hear the question
and think about the answer. The
smell of a horse’s neck can bring
the most amazing clarity to any
situation. You cannot pick a horse
to teach you, your teacher will find
you. Each horse will have their own
special skills and you have to allow
them to connect with you.
If you are ever lucky enough, and
you can make this a reality with
Kathy, to stand among a herd of
horses and just be still and be, you
will soon discover which horse is
ready to connect with you. I have
seen, many times, people standing
with their arms folded, protected,
complaining that no horses
are coming to them and after
explaining their body language,
the message they are giving and
encouraging them to open their
arms, shake away the tension and
relax, I see their faces turn to smiles
as their teacher moves forwards.
