This really has been a delightful and very helpful post as are all the responses.
Last Friday I was so excited I wanted to sit down to write about the changes I am experiencing with the 2 horses I am focusing on most of all and also all my horses. However, I was so busy I have been delayed until now.

In the space of 2 days the 2 horses, Sophie and Babalouis and I connected with a fullness, focus and sense of fun that I have not yet experienced with them before.

Besides the wonderful opportunities offered by the WHRs the entire concept of working/just being/playing with horses in Liberty has not only brought me a new dimension of understanding the horse’s point of view but much more about what relationship means to them and myself. In addition to this I came across Ho’oponopono. Needless to say I recognise that I am making shifts and changing to make these new experiences possible. For me it is like a wheel. I change, enabling the horses change and in turn their change enables my change and to the wheel goes round.

With both horses, on different days we moved as one, played with running to obstacles, turning, stopping, over poles with a true understanding of what we were sharing.

When playing with my mare, my husband was observing and could have easily been a distraction but my mare stayed focused on me.

I am not really expressing in detail what I experienced but I am sure everyone has a good idea.

In addition these past couple of weeks I have had 5 of my horses that live as a herd loose all together in a big yard and ground space, other than their fields or pen areas. I open a field gate releasing them, eventually asking them to come with me to a pen or building or vice versa and it doesn’t often go like clock work from one destination to another but there is this very relaxed feeling between us all and I can leave them to explore and then invite them usually in 2′s or singly to the destination I have in mind. My youngest who is 4 yrs has really benefited from this different kind of liberty time.

All of this is serving to change and enrich our relationships.

Also while I am here, Carolyn I have decided to step out of the group to be considered to be your voice. Thank you so much for presenting the opportunity.

Thank you too for all the time you take for our benefit and for the benefit of horses. It is much appreciated.
Love and Gratitude
to you all
