Hello and Happy New Year. As we say goodbye to 2008 and hello to 2009, I did some reflecting on the past year as my horses leader and partner and had some interesting thoughts. We always make New Years Resolution to ourselves but seldom if ever do we make them about our horse. I thought I would share mine and maybe give you something to think about.
1. Always treat my horse with the same amount of dignity and respect that I ask of him.
2. Remember and understand the phrase The Attitude of Justice.
3. Be the best leader I can be by asking my horse in a clear and concise way.
4. Stay out of the way of my Horse. What I mean is to give him the chance to think it through and not to micro manage him.
5. Remember what we mean when we say Natural Horsemanship.
6. Less is more.
7. Spend more time just observing him in a natural setting.
8. Watch and Learn.
There are a few of mine. I would love to hear if you have made any with your horse. I would like to See 2009 as the best year for the Horse yet. We can make this a better place for not only our horses but for every horse by leading by example. Let me know your thoughts.
