A Mixed Nose Bag

Today’s blog is a bit of a mixed bag of items I’d like to bring you.

The first is to say that after having some trouble getting access to my original Facebook page, we have had to set up a new one. This was a bit frustrating as I had nearly 500 fans and have now lost them all. So it would be great if you could visit the page and ‘Like’ me :)

You will find the page here:

Speaking of Facebook, you can also give each my my blogs the Facebook Thumbs Up by clicking the little button at the top of each post.

Next I’d like to tell you about progress on my new book. The book is a detailed ‘how-to’ on my Method and I am currently working very hard to try and get it finished by the fall, which will hopefully mean publication sometime next year. In order to do this, what I’m thinking of do is bringing you regular excerpts from the Waterhole Rituals Insider Class on the Tuesday’s blog so you can learn from the participants and I will have… Read more

Don’t Throw Stones Throw a Party!

I see us as herd members wanting to achieve a better way to be with horses. There is a saying “People who live in glass houses, should not throw stones,” but I feel it would be better to say, “ do not throw stones.”

There is a pathway to transform & evolve the humane treatment of animals and others. It is a path that does not need to use hurtful finger pointing at individuals that are being abusive to horses from our personal perspective. Personal perspective is always changing. People are really doing the best they can in the situation they are in, even when it looks to us like it could be done better. The way to help them is to build community with them like we are doing with our horses.

There is a way to create empathy in others. All we need to do is become the change we want to see and it really is enough. I believe it is the most inviting way to evolve the communities we live in. We could start by using flexible rules to follow for our own behavior and standards to protect others from our abuse of righteous acts and… Read more

Harmony, trust and being in the moment

When I look back on my experience with the wild horses, what it meant to me then and what it means to me now, I realize I have never lost sight of the importance of horses and the natural environment.

Horses have impacted our lives throughout history, and nature promotes their well-being through the harmony of diversity. I appreciate life and wait to be in harmony with my environment before I act. To know horses as deeply as I know them comes from my understanding of harmony. Harmony is not made, it is found. Harmony in nature is the most trusted element in life and is the basis of the success I share with horses.

Humans honor intelligence. We spend time thinking. Horses honor instinct. They spend time being in the moment.

Working with horses is one way people can learn to be here now and get in touch with their instincts. We normally think of instincts as base but I think of instinct as being plugged into the universal connection… and when you are, you do not make mistakes!

Instinct is just as deep and rich as intelligence. Animals know what time it is. They do… Read more

Lizards and learning

Hello again. As you know, I study all sorts of animals, not just horses, to see what I can learn from them and in fact have done so all my life. Here is another of my lizard stories…

This story concerns the perception people have of animals. Lot of times people feel that animals really do not have a lot going on upstairs that they work basically from instinct and I want to tell a story that would express how complicated an animal’s mind can be.

One day, I was looking out over some grass and I noticed a lizard. This lizard was acting like he had may be some physical thing wrong with him. He was slashing around in the grass as if he was dying. Flashing his tail and throwing his head around and going round and round in circles and I thought that he was going to die.
