Taking the Challenge
I want to give you something a little different for the blog this week.
When I started this project with Myrnah I believed it was something truly different than anything that had been done before. I still believe that is true because I have not found anyone willing to train horses without the added incentive of food rewarding behavior, or the added pressure of a whip or rope or fence to push them against. If any of you know it exists, please let me know. I would be so curious to know more.
What I HAVE found, though, is many people pushing limits and taking on challenges all over the world:
How can we exist with horses in a better way?
I find that so very beautiful, worth paying attention to. I encourage each and every one of us everyday to explore what is possible:
How can we live our own lives in better ways?
For now, I leave you with a little inspiration.
