Once the horse is calm, approach it one last time. Pet the face and neck and as you do, slide the halter onto the horse's nose. Bring your other arm up around the neck to secure the clasp around the back of the head. After it is secure, continue to pet the horse and keep it calm. The halter should be snug but not so tight it is digging into the horse's face. There should be enough slack under the horse's face so that you can slip two fingers inbetween the horse and the halter without much resistance. Once the halter is secure, let some of the slack from the rope hang between you and the horse. Tugging too hard or pulling the horse with too much force will anger or startle it.

Summary: Slide the halter onto the horse. Don't strap the halter on tight. Avoid tugging hard on the rope.

Take the string you would like to use first in your left hand. Hold both of the other strings in your right hand, putting a little tension on the tape to keep these two strings straight. Pull the first string to the right, then lay it over the other two strings to create a loop which looks like a "4." Wrap the first string under the other two and through the loop you created Pull the thread through the loop. Take the tail, or end, of the '4' by putting your hand in the wide space of the '4' and pull the tail. As you tie the knot, pull the two strings in one hand vertically (downward), or parallel to your table. Pull the tail of the string with which you pulled through the loop gently upward toward the top of the bracelet where it is taped to the table. The knot will rise to the top. Make the knot tight enough that it will stay in place, but not so tight that it cinches your bracelet. As you continue weaving, make sure that these knots lie one right after the other on your bracelet and don't overlap. Continue repeating this overhand loop until you have enough length of this color on your bracelet. Every five ties should make about 1/4 inch of color. Be sure that you keep track of how many loops you put in the first color. Use the same number of loops for each color to keep the length of each color consistent. Repeat this process with the next color you would like to see in your bracelet. Continue on to the last color, then go back to the first one until you have a bracelet of sufficient length.

Summary: Make an overhand loop. Tighten the knot. Finish off this color. Wrap overhand loops of each color.

While you may feel like you put in a lot of effort to this relationship-- including caretaking roles-- it's likely you've also gained from this relationship. If you did not find some fulfillment in the relationship, you probably would have ended the relationship much sooner. Consider how this relationship has served you and why it no longer serves you. For example, you may have felt like you had a sense of purpose by taking care of someone who was an alcoholic or that had a major medical condition. You may love the feeling of "being needed" or being in control. People in codependent relationships tend to have a fear of abandonment. This can be one reason they choose a helping role in a relationship: taking care of someone and having someone depend on them means this person won't likely abandon them. If you have a fear of people leaving you, see a therapist. Therapy can help you work through feelings of abandonment, explore ways to care for yourself, and trust others. Often, abandonment issues start in childhood or with a traumatic event. It's beneficial to work through these issues in order to help you free yourself from the fear of abandonment. Chances are, you find at least part of your self-worth in caretaking. Instead of relying on helping others to validate you, learn to validate yourself without needing others to validate you. You may feel as if you need others to tell you how important you are, but you can do this on your own. As you think about ending the codependent relationship, reflect on where you derive your sense of self-worth. How do you perceive yourself? What are your own thoughts about who you are and what you deserve? Do other people seem more able to attain success or happiness than you? You may be so caught up in meeting someone else's needs that you neglect your own needs. While it may feel like the person depends on you, recognize what is within your own responsibility. It's likely that by devoting your time, attention, and resources on this person, you've neglected taking care of yourself. You may feel like you have no idea who you are outside of taking care of this person, or that your full identity is taking care of someone. Start to regain a sense of what your own needs are. For instance, do you need alone time to recharge after a stressful day? What do you do to cope with stress? Have you neglected your nutritional or exercise needs? What about sleep?
Summary: Think about what the relationship fulfilled for you. Work through feelings of abandonment. Validate your own self-worth. Meet your own needs.
