I am riding horses weekly! Practicing equestrian skills is a spiritual endeavor. Here are some thoughts about my lessons:

You use healing gifts from the horse to understand your life journey. The horse is very responsive to such activities as walking, grazing, grooming, and friendship. The most important part of taking care of a horse before during and after the lesson is to talk with the horse and let the horse know that you are thankful for their spiritual journey with you. Be calm since the horse can sense your mood and your overall being. So, when you’re with horses be grateful. Take the time to hug and peacefully be yourself without any worries on that day.

Praying with your favorite sacred text such as The Book of Psalms is also a way to relax and be at peace before you ride.

It takes courage to ride a horse.
