I treasure the opportunity to discover each horse whose path I cross, the ups and downs. I try to treat every animal as an intelligent, sensient being and I really appreciate the centeredness of NH work and that the horse is not enslaved, broken or forced to hide its spirit within itself from the pain dealt by the human. It can venture to share itself with us, to teach us about how its world really is. And when my presence is sought, I accept that as a gift and a compliment. All species have language.
All species have life.
We can niggle and argue the interpretations. NH is a method of translating horse for humans who seek a different path, not necessarily the easy one. Not a quick fix. There really aren't thirty minute wonders, though amazing things can happen in such a short time. The feel isn't rushed, though.
