I am a horse person. I am so happy about that. My understanding of impulse comes from horses. They teach me how to tap my potential and that I have the power to nourish and enrich others. You do not have to have money to be around horses. Let me say it again. You do not have to be financially privileged to experience an equine. Find someone to get you close to them. Yes, it costs money to own and care for horses on your own, but lean into your creativity, and you will find a way to meet them. They are surprisingly cooperative big animals, and we can learn so much from them. Like where we are in our self-esteem. The ways we are threatened. The ways we then try to draw out disagreements with each other. Our addiction to control.
Horses seem more interested in what it means to be equals. They appreciate mutual respect. And you can’t fool them.
From horses, I have learned to develop my own vision of what life can be without being ridiculously optimistic or pessimistic. I want the same for you. I don’t care who you are. Neither does the horse.
