What Does My Horse Really Need?

The same is true for our horses they are relying on us to translate their needs into reality to release our own projections of what we think they need and to allow space for what they actually require. The truth is not always what we hope. Our dressage horse may need variety trail riding bare feet pasture and friends to thrive. Our reining horse
دmay need time off to grow mud to roll in liberty training and more space to be a horse and explore. Interpreting these needs requires listening to body language and behavioural cues and getting curious by exploring different and new options with our horse.

Sometimes our horses live in environments that make it challenging to meet their needs as Diva did many years ago. In these cases a move may be necessary or creative solutions found within your current scenario with the horses wellbeing in mind. As an animal intuitive I am often called out to help with this translation and it can be quite a process of discovery.
As you explore more fully your own relationship to your needs you may also find as I did that who you are with your horse changes. As I shed my longtime beliefs of how I was supposed to be with horses and clarified what we both needed a very different type of relationship emerged that put the wellbeing of this connection first. What you think you need from this relationship and from your horse may shift in subtle or substantial ways creating a partnership that is more fulfilling and healthy for both parties
