To create a deeper connection with your horse, put yourself in a state of happiness before you see your horse. It will help you to discover yet another core strength within you. Your intentions to elevate your awareness will grow your magnetism. Growing your magnetism will draw your horse to follow your lead. It will cause your horse to trust in your leadership.
So how can we do this?
Start by putting your attention on the well being that is always there inside of you until it consumes your awareness fully. Become aware of how your body feels in the moment. Focus on the parts of your body that feel alive and well until your whole body feels alive.
If you have something that does not feel good inside you, this is not you. It is an external condition that has caused feelings of sadness or any negative feeling that pulls you down. Let it go on your exhaled breath. Imagine breathing in healing energy. Imagine breathing from the parts of your body that you are focused on and then feel the sensation.

Communicating with a horse is like a courtship.
Try treating a horse like you would like to be courted, and then your horse will show you how he would like to be approached, this way you will discover a working partnership from a co-creative evolution that will grow into an amazing cross species bond built on love, affection, parenting and respect.

Companion walking is one of the rituals horse’s share with each other in the herd. It brings well being and a deeper bond and exercises the horse’s herding instincts. Companion walks are natural to us too when we are walking with a friend and sharing the same speed and rhythm. If we were sharing this with a friend, and we began walking a little slower, our friend would slow down. Or if we turned, the friend would go with us in the new direction.

Hi Everyone
I had an email from a friend of mine Carol, who wanted to know what my new logo represents to me.
