Carolyn Resnick Horsemanship: Liberty Horse Training

Hi. Today I would like to share with you an email I received from our regular contributor Margaret, who has been having some telephone coaching with me. Her horse Autumn had been causing her a few problems by demanding treats in a somewhat grumpy fashion.

Now as you read Margaret’s story, think about how you can take the advice I gave to Margaret, adapt it and use it with your horse if he is presenting you with problems. A lot of horse training is about using your imagination and coming up with solutions that are fun for both of you.

Hello. Well, it’s Friday again, so it must mean it’s time for more of Margaret’s wonderful writings. As you will have read on Wednesday, I do so enjoy what Margaret writes as you will have read in Wednesdays post on the Centaur Connection. I am very grateful too for all the comments you write, as is Margaret as you will read below.

So, have a super weekend and I will speak with you next week!
Best wishes

Carolyn

The days are now getting shorter at the ranch. The once overflowing heart-shaped pond has shrunk into a lumpy looking potato. As the summer passed, Autumn and I watched the purple forest clover turn to the carpeting sunshiny buttercups in the meadows, which eventually fell underneath the waving oceans of daises. These were later pushed out by the prickly purple thistles and now the Queen Anne’s lace is trying its’ hardest to dress up the dry and dusty pasture. The cool autumn winds are starting torattle the skeletons of the headless thistles, that I think Autumn had a big part in plucking this season, and the mountains sit crisp, waiting for the winter rains to fall.

Being in the horse industry as I have and a horse lover on my own personal journey, I have seen a lot of personal growth in people due to the impact that horses have played in their spiritual evolution. I have seen trainers grow and change from hardened individuals to philanthropists and students turn into masters. I have seen first hand the physical healing effect horses have on humans. All of these people that I have known over the years have horses to thank for their spiritual growth.

I feel that the biggest influence a horse has on me comes in the moment that I feel a connection between us as One – the Centaur Connection.

I have an overwhelming appreciation and gratitude for the friendship that arises in these moments, the Centaur Connection that comes from our training experiences together. This experience catapults me into an overwhelming awareness to all that surrounds me in nature and to the universe as a whole.

Hello and a happy 4th of July to you!

I am delighted to announce the first in what we hope will be a series of stories from Margaret who featured on the post Being in nature. We have been exchanging messages with each other and I asked her if she wouldn’t mind sharing some of her journey with us as she gets to know her mare, Amber, in the 230 acres they and 30 other horses share up there in the mountains in northern California. Margaret seems to experience the same joy as I do from the simple pleasures to be found in nature and her stories bring a smile to my heart, I hope they do to yours too.

Have a super weekend and I look forward to talking with you again next week.
