In the enchanting dance of horse training, let's talk about the delicate balance between keeping our eyes on the grand horizon and savoring every step of the journey.
The Bigger Picture: Like a captivating painting waiting to be unveiled, the bigger picture in horse training is essential. It sets the direction, the dream we strive for. However, let's not forget that the masterpiece is not just in the destination but in every brushstroke, every intentional step we take along the way.
Clear Intentions for the Journey: Shaping clear intentions for all the million steps on this fascinating journey becomes the melody in this symphony. Each note, each stride, is purposeful – mini-goals crafted with care, forming the sweet music of progress. It's in these deliberate steps that we find the hidden treasures of the equine journey. Therefore it is crucial to shape a more tailor-made intention for where we are at. So be in the moment of where you are in your education and appreciate what matches this level of education. This for sure is not the bigger picture quality but maybe a willing response, a trying hard to figure something out, one first balanced step in the right direction, et cetera.
Beautiful Gifts Along the Way: Every training session, every moment with our horses, offers gifts – the beautiful building blocks to our desired masterpiece. If we only have our eyes fixed on the end goal, we might miss the small, exquisite details that form the heart and soul of our journey.
Reachable Goals for Radiant Vibes: Imagine a training session where every goal is a "YES" for your horse or at least an "oh, I don't know but I think I can figure that out" and with this a cause for celebration. Setting reachable goals and as small approximations as necessary becomes the magic wand that keeps motivation and positive vibes soaring. Your horse, like a partner in a dance, is eager in every step, creating a harmonious connection.
The Power of Celebration: Rather than waiting for the perfect end goal, let's celebrate every little milestone. No matter how little it might look from the outside, it might be huge for this horse on that special day in this special situation and at this level of education. In celebrating these important 'little' things, we nurture motivation, interest, and a sense of pride within our equine companions.
Supporting the Journey: Even if the bigger picture remains a distant dream, the journey becomes a sanctuary of appreciation, love, understanding, and support for our horses. By embracing each stride and celebrating achievements, we offer a foundation of positivity that helps our equine friends figure things out with confidence and joy.
In the waltz of horse training, let's find joy in every step, celebrate the journey, and create a partnership where every milestone - no matter how little - is cherished, and the bond between rider and horse grows stronger with each passing day. Â
