Recently, I was asked: โWhat do you think it will take to ensure that horses are part of sports in the future?โ ๐ด
Horses are amazing! They are grand, beautiful, and living beings, and they will teach their rider some valuable lessons โ if you let them! Horses cooperate with people, and they want to do their very best.
But they havenโt chosen to be a part of a sport where victory is a success criterion.
If I had to pinpoint one thing that would make it tolerable to watch horses struggle in the name of a sport, it would be THE CONNECTION!
If a leader or manager canโt lift a horseโs leg, theyโll struggle with leading a real-life department because you canโt achieve anything based on coercion or pressure.
But when we humans are pure, honest, and mighty in our energy, the horses will follow us because they pick up on the โleadershipโ and exciting energy pulsating in us.
As horses need to feel safe, they seek unity and togetherness.
We know so many things today, and yet animal abuse is still prevalent in a recognized sport.
Suppose you judge the horse and the equestrian based on relaxedness and the connection between them in the future without placing the horse in a static frame or using any assistive devices. In that case, I believe that equestrianism will be something that we โ and anybody else watching โ will think is pretty, pleasant, and beautiful.
Remember, not all people work or live with horses. But a lot of people do care about animal rights and environmental issues.
Many people care a lot about what others think of me.
Itโs evident that for that to become a reality in the future, something needs to change ๐ค
We need to evaluate how we judge in the future.
When THAT happens, theyโll get swamped in the riding training schools, and many trainers will no longer ride tall in their saddles as they learn the new ways of judging ๐คฃ
Now, they have to change their teaching methods from โ the old-schoolโ to newer, more modern techniques, which entail listening and understanding both horse and rider.
What do you think needs to change if you had to pinpoint just ONE thing that would change equestrianism to something positive in the futureโ๏ธ
Iโm eagerly watching from the bleachers โค๏ธ
