Looks like someone got their tail caught underneath them when they were trying to roll outta bed this morning. Yikes girl! I know hair loss is a normal part of aging but you might wanna be more cautious next time. 😂

The more time I spend with these animals the more I realize how deeply present and intentional they actually are.

We’ve been sold this idea that horses are “spooky” and will just startle out of nowhere for seemingly no reason. Many even joke they’re on a mission to off themselves. But I’d have to argue that the complete opposite is true.

Horses are always paying attention. (The same cannot be said for a single one of us humans.) They notice the slightest shift in the environment — an increasing heart rate, a scent on the breeze, that dog barking up the road. They notice all of those things, evaluate them, and process accordingly. Sometimes it’s with a gentle breath we don’t even notice, sometimes it’s by simply moving their body closer to a friend, sometimes it’s running for the hills. But it’s never random and it’s never because they’re giant idiots with a death wish.

Horses know exactly who they are and what they can handle. And they spend all of their time making intentional decisions about how to survive in whatever environment they’re experiencing.

Their initial responses are almost always quiet. And they will choose the calmest path as often as they can. When your main thought is survival avoiding injury is an important part of that, and these guys know it. That’s why they allow us to restrain them, tie them, force ourselves on them because to put up a fight is an incredibly high risk.

Unfortunately, many humans intentionally push horses to this point of explosive behavior with outdated “training” methods and a deep misunderstanding of the nervous system experience of the animal they are working with.

So is it really the horse that’s unpredictable? Or is it that humans haven’t made space to truly see what the horse is saying until it’s gone too far?

Equine-Assisted Learning and Wellness programs are gaining popularity, but like anything, each farm, and modality, and practitioner has a unique approach to the work.

The Equi Evolution model strives to support learning through organic experience with horses who have choice and a voice in the conversation. Sometimes people think this looks like we’re hardly doing anything in sessions, but it’s in the slowing down that we actually find embodiment and real presence.

We’re all traveling the journey of life, but not all at the same speed. Holding space or offering accommodations for those who need them should be standard practice of humanity.

Maybe if we spend more time with the animals they’ll show us the way.

Our desperation to provide our students with ✨magic✨ has us stuck trying to force some kind of performance from our horses.

We create detailed session plans and pray that Chico and Annie will “behave” and show up the way we want them to so we can confirm some super life lesson.

But the lessons in Equine-Assisted work do not come from choreography and perfect planning — horses don’t operate that way and neither does the world we move through. Real experiences are complicated, and messy, and often don’t play out the way we expect. Leaving room for the uncertainty, the experience, the moments to happen organically is where we begin to understand the power of authentic communication and connection so we can find the courage to finally drop our own masks.
