Study of the horse --without human ego.

We (STQH) have been coaching on the thought --that the mind, is our choice ‘box’ --so to speak.  We have thought the Brain, is --our God Given, that makes us do what must be done, by instinctual response -for survival, like breathe, and to pull a hand away from a fire.  The brain will take in ‘information’ not ‘necessarily’ a fact, and the brain will untangle it to help you make decisions quickly, while giving the human mind the option --to choose and learn.

Okay, lets go back to the rider with this ‘circle’ of Ego that is distracting the rider from the ‘Spiritual Dynamics’ of what riding the horse can offer you.

What does the ego have to do with riding a horse anyway?  Is this your question?  It has been ours!

The answer is --nothing, --nothing concerning the ‘mechanics’ of riding, or traditional methods!

The other answer is  –‘EVERYTHING’ –when it comes to ‘The STQH Spiritual Dynamics of Horse & Rider’!

The horse has no ego!  How can the horse, who is ‘spiritual’ by nature, be expected to respond to us fully, if we are projecting our Ego onto them, and not our ‘spirit’?  The horse easily recognizes which ‘world’ --we project to them!

They will ‘buck’ our ego --if they could!  They try to help us --to eliminate this un-natural ‘ego’ state of being, don’t they?  They fuss, they warn us, they reject us, and even give us a hard time.  They do not like being attacked by the –un-natural, non-spiritual, human ego, or the ego’s power struggles that threaten the horse.  They are filled with flight or fight. They would choose to get away from us, and not to join with us on equal terms.  Our egos have not allowed the horse the privilege of meeting us on the ‘spiritual’ level.  The El-Natural they would ‘easily’ connect to!

This is what Monty Roberts is about.  He meets the horse, on their level. I THANK GOD that Monty opened the eyes of Americans, and horseman all over the world.  He has made the non-traditional, acceptable!  Those, including myself, no longer must struggle to hold to our beliefs about the naturalness of the horse.  Someone (Monty) has broken that ‘mind-barrier’! Thank you Monty!  You have made my life easier.

So, does this now begin to make sense, how the horse will respond to a person, who is ‘open’ to that ‘something’ that the horse is attracted to?  Could that be, that this person knows the spirit of the horse? (I didn’t say spirits)  The ‘spirit’ that is there for the horse, you and I? 

This ‘Spirit of God’ --is everywhere!  In the natural!  it is recognized.  It will also be learned, that the human EGO, is NOT of the Spirit of God.  In fact, the ego is in opposition to the Spirit of God.  The Human Ego, is only in competition with the Spirit of God!

The horse sees, and understands what we cannot see.  They see, in their realm natural realm of ‘spirit’ understanding.  I have said many times. 

There is much to learn from the Natural Horse!

Is a Horse Whisperer, (a real one) --connected to the Natural Spirit of God?  Do they have a heart that is warm, and loving?  Do they ‘breathe in, and out naturally?  Are they ‘fluid’ in movement?  Does the ‘natural’ horse do the same?

Isn’t it understandable how a ‘natural’ horse will ‘connect’ to someone who recognizes what the horse knows, --to ‘breathe’ from the same breath of spirit?

The horse will look right to you, --to see if you are ‘real’ –to see --if what they are ‘seeing’ in you, and ‘feeling, if this is only temporary. They stand guard! And they will absolutely acknowledge the ‘spirit’ in you.  They will also acknowledge the Ego in you, and this will cause great caution, --or for them to flee.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The domestic horse, is more ‘tolerant’ of human behavior, and expectations.  They have had to adjust to human handling, the best way they can, and it isn’t and wasn't always easy.

It has been most interesting to have raised horses without human expectations flaunted upon them.  They were wonderful teachers, and what they gave to me, was and still is profound!  It is real!  It is absolutely universal!

Monty Roberts has studied the wild horse for a lifetime, and come up with behaviors and attitudes of their family life.  This also is universal, but on a different level, at the same time.  The wild horse can be very abrupt, in learning.  It can be very quick, and easy, or very awkward, depending on how you have learned to work ‘with’ them.

Our study has been with the domestic horse, traditional attitudes and programs --how the two get along, or do not get along. 

We have searched for that missing element, within the understanding --of the horse’s needs, as well as  human need and expectations, when it comes to the relationship, between horse and rider, and riding.  Our study is similar to Monty Roberts, along only slightly different paths.

We also reject the forceful approach for starting horses.  Understanding, makes starting the horse, a very simple task.  Experience is vital, and learning from someone with experience is essential.  Starting horses can be unsafe --for the novice.
