There is a connection between your horsemanship and your life 'foundations'.
How important is your foundation?
When we see a crack in the wall of our home, our first reaction is to patch it up as quick as possible.
Something similar happens in our horsemanship journey.
It is called a 'quick fix' in the horse world.
When a problem springs up in the relationship between you and your horse, your first thought usually is to find a 'quick fix' to repair the problem.
Often, after a period of time, the problem reappears.
Because the surface level problems are rooted in deeper problems in the relationship that seem hidden from our view.
We miss that the crack in the wall that keeps showing up isn't a wall problem at all.
It's a problem with the foundation.
Solution?
Build a safe and solid horsemanship foundation.
It's a given that your horsemanship foundation is composed of individual pieces like techniques, skills, methods and experience.
But the horsemanship foundation between you and your horse is composed of so much more.
Like both:
- Your beliefs.
- Your mindsets.
- Your attitudes.
- Your stories about your horse.
- Your stories about yourself.
- Your stories about the world.
- Your lifestyle.
- Your health.
- Your emotional state.
- Your mental state.
- Your physical state.
Your and your horse's foundations are the same.
Your foundations need to work together for the relationship to flow into deep connected partnership.
This is an empowered partnership.
If you want to make meaningful changes in your partnership with your horse, you need to focus on your foundation - not the cracks in the wall.
Earn your horse's respect acceptance by building a solid foundation.
Become your horse's trusted partner by creating a foundation which supports safety and responsiveness in your relationship.
Seek and aspire to have your horse's attention so you and your horse can flow together.
Your blended 'WE" foundation is more important than you know.
