My insights
I look at the horse as a whole system and also consider the impact of our human additions to that system.
Our horses are domesticated, depending on what we offer them in their feed bucket, in their pasture, and in our interactions with them.
There are many diseases, and many names for those diseases, but there is one major cause, and that is that you are too far away from your nature.
That has been my greatest insight, both for myself and for my horses.I am happy to share the other insights here with you in the blogs.
Over the years, it became clear to me that many recurring complaints are not isolated problems, but signals from that system. Signals that often find their origin in imbalance at the base.
Whether it concerns gut health, skin issues, muscle problems,... real change requires that you dare to search for the root of the problem.
Recovery only begins deeply when you are willing to see all layers of the horse system and incorporate them into your approach.
When the body indicates that it is ready for recovery, only then can you start to achieve beautiful things. You can invite it for that.
I am always grateful whenever I see a horse's body that says "yes" to me when I invited it together with the owner to move towards recovery. That "exercise" in that body that we then see is so beautiful!
