If you’ve not yet discovered how to approach horse interactions with the Yin-softer-approach, I cannot recommend enough that IT IS TIME.
It is how I first learned to work with horses & it still blows my mind how so many people know nothing of it. No wonder they’re having so much difficulty! Your horse isn’t bad, mean or belligerent. (Ok, there are exceptions, but far less than you think.)
Starting from a place of nothingness, curiosity and softness allows you to discover

🐴if your horse is acting adversely because of pain or discomfort
🐴how to truly communicate & have conversations with your horse
🐴how to experience the best of yourself and your horse with every interaction

Softening
Releasing Tension
Moving through Brace
Letting Go of Unnecessary Muscle Contraction
Developing Ease and Fluidity of Movement
Returning to Relaxed Readiness
Relief and Comfort

The qualities of Yin are often overlooked in a world that focuses on performance, action, and competition.

Yet, it is here that we restore ourselves, where we prepare to meet each challenge from the place of our highest potential.

It's really all about balance.

Don't forget to take time to care for yourself, and your horse.

As a teacher of both Yoga and Debono Moves for Horses, I love supporting people in learning how presence, feel, touch, and gentle movement can improve softness in both you and your horse, enhancing whatever adventures you pursue together.

We will be covering Mindful Movement for Riders, Debono Moves for Horses, nervous system co-regulation, and “speaking" the horse's language at our upcoming Mindful Horsemanship Clinic at LaBelle Equestrian on October 25!
