What If Horses Were Our Best Teachers? Life/Business Coach, Kate Neligan, discusses how partnering with equines can inspire personal and spiritual growth.
Hello Theresa and Anna - I believe horses are always communicating like all animals, in their own silent and sometimes not so silent language. The wonderful thing about learning the hard way about animals, is that you do not blame them. You just say to yourself, "well that didn't work." So what do I do now?
The best thing about the introduction of computers was that you could only blame yourself, if you pressed the wrong key, or had an outcome you didn't expect. You didn't bash the computer (as much as you might have felt like doing so,) simply because you knew it wouldn't get you anywhere, and was counter productive.
You had to continue to work out how to communicate with the computer in such a way as to learn from the experience, or give up altogether.
Now horses are not computers, but their feedback is much the same. They simply tell us to look at ourselves to find out how to communicate with them. There is no use flogging a dead horse (pun in tended) to try get a result. I wish more people would understand this point.
Communication is something awesome when you achieve it, and very subtle in most instances, when the bond is there with a particular animal.
