That time of the year is here, as we find ourselves (at least in the north) climbing out from the short dark days of winter that can at times be brutal. Waking up we dust off some of the remnants of snow – or at least prepare for the day when we can finally shovel that last bit of snow from the walk ways. I feel like that time of the year has started. I am more energized through the day, I’ve stopped stocking up on food to keep me warm and insulated through the hibernation phase. Maybe it is just all of the Vitamin D from the daily dose of sunshine bouncing off the remaining piles of snow… Whatever the cause, I am happy to see the threat of spring!
What I really want to talk about however are relationship skills. It isn’t every day that the interactions with people in my life bring about great ephiphanies in the way of how we relate with the horse and build communication, trust and motivation in each other, but I am lucky enough to have regular encounters that spur some greater understanding.
I’ve come to find that the way in which we build a relationship with the horse is the fundamental foundation that everything else is built upon. If we have a poor foundation everything else fails – communication, trust, motivation, etc. With that note, I will be broadcasting live for the first time on internet radio on February 1 at 12 noon (cst). I will be discussing various aspects of relationship building with the horse. I would like to invite you to tune in, let a friend know and pass the word around. Viewers will be able to call in or email questions throughout the show for a truly interactive experience. This is in partnership with Awareness In Riding through their AIR Radio Channel.
