ENJOY THE PROCESS TO PROGRESS
Fall in love with the process…and the results will come!
The beauty of falling in love with the process and being completely present in the moment instead of worrying about the future is - it makes a difference to your horse.
Because our awareness improves, our tensions disappear, our understanding and performance improves, our communication with our horse improves and without even thinking consciously about our goal – it grows closer, almost effortlessly, until one day we suddenly realize Hey! It's here! We did it.
There is no reason to not be joyful in every moment we are with our horses!
If things aren’t going like we thought they would, all that means is that we are then presented with a learning opportunity of some kind – either concerning ourselves or our horses.
Isn't it amazing that the gift of learning new things lasts forever.
We can cultivate an innate trust and trust bank account that our goal will appear if we immerse ourselves in the process.
Work with the horse we have today, right now – not the horse we had yesterday or the one in the future, neither of whom exists at this moment in time.
In the 2 short videos below, I am learning to ride the trot Rhett and I created through autonomy, choice and voice and our ground play. The essentials of Liberty, online, long-reining, ground driving, long-reining, and in-hand work has led to intrinsically motivated FUNctional movements.
Creating this posture, this balance, this strength, this power and this trust has been a work in progress. A process we have both grown quite fond of!
