Howdy Friends! It’s easy to help your horse truly understand you and requires no special training, clinics or instructors.
First, we must truly want our horse to understand us, in our hearts and thoughts.
Second, we must spend time, a good deal of it, just being with them. Not feeding, grooming, riding or training—just being in their company. Walk with her, sit with her and, very important, talk with her.
Slow down, allow her to come to you, mentally.
The neat thing is, as she begins to understand you more deeply, you will understand her as well. That, then, is a true partnership, and when folks watch you and your horse they’ll see two beings so in sync they act as one rather than two beings each operating in their own realm.
This tiny shift in perspective works wonders—try it and see for yourself! ~Gitty Up, Dutch.
