The past couple of weeks have been spent working on lesson 2 with Anima and have been dedicating 2 hours per day to nature, learning and being. It has been bitter cold the past few days with the range from a blizzard to the near 45 degrees today.
I spent several hours with the horses today and I usually quickly brush them and then say my usual "nite boys and girls" but tonight I stayed and lingered and I learned, there is so much to learn from horses, if we just pay attention. I find that I try and control them but they are actually only looking for a leader and if they do not perceive you as one then they just ignore you. I was actively sought out tonight and what a reward!
Tonight Tess was "telling" me where to brush by moving her head in a certain direction and basically telling me "here, this is the spot". I paused and she would move in my direction, now this is a horse that prizes her food above all else and all of this transpiring while she was eating her grain.
amazing what animals will tell us if we only listen...such intelligent beasts!
