My cousin Katrina heads out with a bag of apples – no whip, no quirt – to see if she can distribute them to the herd and keep calm.
Then we visit the horses at the waterhole, Makah checks out the new dog run, and Raven is upset about something.
Enjoy the visit with us at the Singing Horse Ranch, near Vernon, BC, Canada 🙂
Notice how Katrina uses her body language to stop the horses approach. She also has to gather her energy and make it bigger.
It’s interesting to watch how different people behave and respond in the same situation. Katrina Patel is an environmental biologist who cleans up oil spills and other environmental disasters. She’s used to running a team of people in emergency or high pressure environments.
I’ve noticed that the horses will push her harder than other people – to get her to up-level, when she’s already quite skilled, they have to turn the volume up.
It’s fantastic training in holding your energetic space and pulling that through to physical reality. And if you want more training in this, remember we have a workshop on exactly that (on sale now).
Jini Patel Thompson is a natural health writer and Lazer Tapping instructor. She began riding at age 2 in Kenya, and got her first horse at age 8 in Alberta, and so continues a life-long journey and love affair with these amazing creatures.
