Hi. I was saying last week how many wonderful letters and emails I receive and here’s another one that I really wanted to put on the blog. It’s from a lady from Northern California with the lovely name of Indigo. The reason for putting it on the blog was twofold. One is to help people understand that they need to take more time on the relationship with their horse and that training is more than a 20 minute experience. Indigo’s story demonstrates this beautifully.
The second reason was that it also illustrates that there is this kind of field of dreams and connections, as you will see when you read the whole story.

Hello there. Welcome to the new slot of Tuesdays for my blog posts, hope it doesn’t throw your rhythm off too far!
Today’s post features 2 questions from different people, who are both asking about the Waterhole Rituals, so I thought I’d put them together for you. The first one is from Becka in Washington and then the second comes from Stephani in Florida.

Sometimes I get totally unsolicited letters and emails from people who just want to share their similar view of the world. Today’s post comes from a lady called Cindee, who wrote to me out of the blue last month. I’m afraid your name doesn’t ring a bell straight off, Cindee, so I apologize if we have met.
The story and pictures Cindee sent however are very close to my heart. Companionship is a one minded connection and horses share this too as you will read.

Hello again. Today I wanted to add to the story about Panadero and his Spanish Walk that I told you about here last week. If you recall, I went to work with him not having done so for three months.
The last time I had worked with him his Spanish Walk had been very green and he could maybe only do about 25 feet. When I asked him for it three months later, he had it on him like he was a seasoned horse.
So what I wanted to add was that one of the other reasons he did the Spanish Walk so beautifully was it was something that I could feel in him that day because of the relationship we had developed before. I had asked him to do something else but he did not do it immediately. He was telling me that what he wanted to do something else instead and telepathically I guessed he wanted to do the Spanish walk.

Hello again, hope you had a lovely weekend. Well, we’ve had a busy weekend updating the site and I’ll tell you about that in a moment.
First let me bring you the results of the survey last week about how often you would like to see a new blog post. This came about because although I have lots of lovely comments about the blog, we were getting a number of people saying that they couldn’t keep up with it. Anyway, as they say on awards ceremonies, without further ado here are the results:

Hello everyone. Last week I had the pleasure of sharing one of my ‘Dance With Horses’ clinic with Joy, a lovely lady from Denmark. I do so enjoy teaching and sharing my message and it’s so nice to see so many people from all over the world finding resonance with my Method.
With this in mind, I hope to be working more closely in the coming months with my good friends: documentary film-maker, Stormy May (www.stormymay.com) and author and artist, Liz Mitten Ryan (www.lizmittenryan.com), to spread the word of a more natural approach to horsemanship and an appreciation of what we can learn from horses.

The lesson I would like to discuss today is how our horses behave when they have not been worked on a regular basis.
Normally, if we turn a horse out in a big field and just leave him for a week or maybe a month and then bring him back to ride, he will often be just wild. Most horses need to be worked on a daily basis, five days a week so that we can depend on them not to be too out of control. I find that interesting because horses we train with the Waterhole Rituals do not have that problem.
