Horse Sense....

 

 

So got to the stables this morning and Mares is bouncing round the paddock.

And not in a, Man, I'm feeling amazing! kind of way.  Think more hooning from one side of the paddock to the other with random but extremely large, kicks.  

Then she wanted to snuggle.

Ah...hell no!  

Then it worked out that I had got half the food wrong.  The concept was excellent, just wrong way of cooking it wrong.  All goods.  I expected these conversations at the stables and to be fair, all it was, was a discussion.  Yes, things could of got heated because we are all so completely different.  All very vocal, stubborn and generally think our way is right, but it's hard to have a full on fight when everyone wants the same thing - a happy, healthy horse and foal with the best food, vitamins, minerals and herbs that it is possible to get.  And we got a great end result today - well, great-ish, Mares hasn't spoken yet.  And she too, has a voice.

Back to the feedstore to exchange and re-buy.

Mares and I are doing super well with her food.  She's trying to pretend that she's a bit Meh! about things, but she's happy and connected and contented.  I still don't think I have it 100% right but that's ok, it'll just be the quantities that need playing round with.  The interesting thing I've noticed is Mares is now participating.  She's opened her door to me.  She's now answering my questions.  And her Energy has changed.  It's like she knows I'm doing my very, very best and even though sometimes it's not right, she appreciates the effort.  So she's communicating more, and in an easier, more up front way.  Her and I, well, we've started to have conversations.  They're very basic and childlike, and I use that word because we're not polished and refined like we will be, or are as I'm writing this, like Caps, Az, the little ones and I are.  

So far this has been a quite phenemenonal week though, and I'm soul excited about how the future will be.

Tingly, tingly hands, baby.

Changing Mares food was the best thing that I could have done.  

Her Energy has totally changed, she's more relaxed, happy and generally so much more in balance.  She wasn't that hungry this morning when I fed her, but her food was all gone this evening when I went back.  She is also really connecting in with our touch/play.  So much so today, that I wish I could have video taped her face and all the funny faces she was making when I scratched her itches in the right place.  

It's very weird Energy for me though because I haven't played like this before.  It's strong but gentle, tentative and fragile as if we go too hard or too fast, it could break and fracture into a million pieces.  So we're both feeling our way and gently, so we build and make it stronger.  The depth is astounding though.  

I'm excited about our future though because this has the feel of something mindblowing.

Already it is other worldly.

So, that's been our week: It has been, and continues to be, a deeply Spiritual time and a truly beautiful path that Mares, baby Mares and I are walking.  

Am I doing everything, 100% right?

I don't know, so I can't answer that.  I mean, I've talked to quite a few horses now and put them back on track, but this is something completely different.  I am literally walking in the dark, feeling, talking and communicating my way through touch.  

What I can say though is that Mares and I are putting 100% into each other, all the time.  

That's a really great start.
