20.01.2022 The magic is in the Being yet our tendency is over complicate, over think and get caught up in the doing. The greatest gift we can give to the horse, and ourselves is to just Be In Being we access our inner self, where there is peace, joy, inspiration, creativity, gratitude and salvation from suffering. Being with your horse by Anna Blake; Self-awareness: Share the situational awareness your horse has in his environment. Literally see it his way. Less tunnel vision, mo...re 'big picture' understanding. Consistency: be the same person while training that you are when mucking. Be a source of interest and curiosity and not correction and aggravation. Silence: Let the air be mostly still, give him a chance to get a word in edgewise. Learn the art of quiet focus and connection. Talk with people some other time. Choice: Let your horse take you for a walk. Just go along with him, give him his head. Spoiler: he wants to graze. Touch: Communicate peace, lay a quiet still hand on his neck, flank, or hind, but leave his face alone. Learn to be supportive, not intrusive. Praise: Be generous with kind words and exhales and laughter. Horses read our emotions; they like us happy. Then let the air rest again. Autonomy: Give him his space. Let him hold his own self up. Stay at least 3 ft away from his head, use a long lead, and notice his eye soften. Listen: Learn his language and acknowledge his calming signals. Be aware of the anxiety you create, work for his safety. Answer in his language. Slow down: Give the horse the gift of time to answer the question and then the time he needs to process. Quit before you want to, stay hungry for more. Rhythm: No stiff coyote stares, move with a smooth rhythm while leading or riding or swaying in the breeze in the pasture. Movement is release. Most of all, breathe as a cue. Trust that an exhale is more eloquent and effective than any training aid possible. Watch your horse agree. Please, know that you have all you need; that you are more than enough for your horse. Horses always require some soul-searching honesty, but then begin the nuanced work of becoming your horse's partner. You can be his oasis of sanity. You can be the treat." ~ Anna Blake

19.01.2022 Connection- one of our most fundamental human needs. When we are connected we are ingrained in the present moment. Connection encourages social, physical, mental, and emotional healing. Connecting with our horse not only benefits us, but him as well. The foundation of a genuine relationship begins here, and is forged with trust, respect and love.

10.01.2022 #saynuptothecup Horses start racing from as early on as two years old! Their skeletal system is not yet ready for this strain put upon them and they often suffer fatal consequences. Often they can suffer painful muscular-skeletal injuries, such as torn ligaments and tendons, dislocated joints and even fractured bones. The horses are often then fed a cocktail of drugs such as antibiotics and anti-inflammatories to keep them racing for as long as possible. Studies show tha...t whipping horses does cause pain Pulmonary Haemorrhaging When the exertion of racing causes the horses to bleed from the lungs. This causes the horses to have blood in the nostrils or in the windpipe from internal bleeding. in 2018 122 horses were killed on the track alone in Australia! This figure doesn’t even come close to the horses that die off the track or are sent to abattoirs. Of that number 10 of these horses were only 2 years old when they died on the track. Over 750 Horses die on the racetrack each year globally. Usually from bleeds, heart failure, broken necks or shattered bones. RIP @simply_healthy_vegan

08.01.2022 We called them ‘men’ but in reality they were but boyhood mates with their equine pals who rode for days to ‘join up’, eager to have a life adventure together, stories to tell, beat the ‘enemy’. Most already able to ride and shoot, they received little training, coerced by the lure of excitement on foreign shores, they boarded the boats. Reality awakened the ‘men’ in them all too soon, split up from their horses, or thrust into a sandy charge across deserts bereft of wate...r, poorly provisioned, their mounts battling the seemingly insurmountable...the Recruits swiftly became the bravest of heroes, their bond with their horses unshakeable, unbreakable. Eventually, heartened by success but weakened by wounds and losses, they received word to return to their homeland, but they would return alone, for their horses, the foals they grew up with, rode bareback and naked to the streams to frolic, to gallop the green fields, the blue mountains of home, would remain. Some, unable to bear the thought of their dear friend’s likely fate, would say a heartfelt goodbye, a pain-filled wrenching thank you, and bravely gift a merciful release, the report echoing across the desolate sands. The recruits of today honour their memory, although the reality of their service is more known, still within them lie the young boys and girls, eager to defend the nation, our culture and the very legacy those first recruits so courageously left behind. @artistsandilear Another incredible piece See more
