I think we sometimes forget that horses...and people, are bored by their routines, and just a small change and affect their energy, hopefully for the better! :)Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464088874054923635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-32653121492885700182009-04-04T21:16:00.000-04:002009-04-04T21:16:00.000-04:00Oh, what a great post.

Took me awhile to learn that "suggestions are taken as criticism".Then I wonder what they are ticked about.<BR/><BR/>So, "I" finally learned. Now, they have to beg for my suggestions. Sure gives me a sense of freedom from feeling that I need to "fix everything!"<BR/><BR/>That was a terrific idea about taking your mom for an outing.Strawberry Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10555143299042580481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-85294812992832657942009-04-04T07:29:00.000-04:002009-04-04T07:29:00.000-04:00You are such a beautiful person Victoria.

You'll never get anywhere being pushy and stubborn and you can wait for a very long time to have them come over to your side.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-668313182644621412009-04-03T18:12:00.000-04:002009-04-03T18:12:00.000-04:00I'm glad you posted this, when you think about it ...I'm glad you posted this, when you think about it horse's minds aren't ALL that different, they just can't espress it in words so we take the extra time to 'listen' to the horses. Imagine if we all did this with each other? I think it's about time I started applying this to my life too! I leave for work in half an hour, so I'll treat the customers like horses and see how it goes. =)Geckohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869977105238208893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-39270508976966438072009-04-03T14:43:00.000-04:002009-04-03T14:43:00.000-04:00This is a good post, and relevant as always.

Realizing just how much of communication is down to one's own attitude is the biggest key is getting through in any relationship that is more or less uphill.Esther Garvihttp://esthergarvi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-661305221937152009-04-03T09:53:00.000-04:002009-04-03T09:53:00.000-04:00Wonderful post - I think many of the problems peop...Wonderful post - I think many of the problems people have with their horses, or with other people, are caused by impatience - if we can just slow down and give the horse/person a chance to participate in the conversation, things come out differently!

Just as it is important for the horse to be freed up to move a hoof, I believe we need to have our emotional/mental weight freed up to move in our lives.Karen McLainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17721248452049970340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344836954494496679.post-12021341248902055102009-04-03T09:10:00.001-04:002009-04-03T09:10:00.001-04:00I really enjoyed this, Victoria.

It's a good feeling to slow down and really think about what may be causing certain behaviors in others, and what we can do to help.<BR/><BR/>Hmmmm. My word verification is beholi. Be holy.

Also, our energy level comes on like a blow torch...sometimes it's good and sometimes not. Animals seem to be more sensitive than people.
