What Does My Horse Really Need?
I however was left wondering what I needed to thrive a question that I hadnt asked myself up until this point.
Which brings us back to our culture and the trickiness around needs. In nonviolent communication it is understood that all behaviour occurs as a strategy to meet a need even if were uncertain of what that need is. The expression of needs requires several key things. First it requires a connection to your felt body sense and to your feelings. Second it requires the ability to communicate those needs clearly and to understand that you have choices when it comes to how those needs can be met which can be a challenge in itself. If youre like me you were not taught how to express or understand your needs in my case these needs translated into poor selfcare not asking for help putting myself in potentially dangerous scenarios with my horses pushing myself and my horse too hard and taking the opinions of others as a replacement for the needs of myself and my horse. Not understanding my needs also led me to project them onto my horse by keeping her safe through separateness blanketing her because I hate being cold and wet she does not like blankets! or overfeeding her even when it was hard on her body. Now many years later I have a much better grasp of my unique needs and now know that my main thriving needs are play ample rest space to be me daily movement rejuvenating spaces meaningful connection with humans and animals a sense of belonging and learning. Funny how Diva and I had quite similar needs all along!
