Do you ever feel like there isn’t a place for you? 🥺
It’s interesting that horses are these incredibly sensitive creatures (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually)…
And yet, the industry as a whole is brutal ⛓️
The culture of intensity that’s been developed around horses can make sensitive people feel as though there’s no room for them here.
Like they don’t belong.
The lore of “asserting dominance” and being a “strong leader” (by using excessive pressure and punishment) alienates the people who are 📢 perhaps the MOST equipped to connect with horses…📢
Because of their sensitivity, and willingness to attune to the horse’s voice and needs ♥️
It’s tragic to think how many people hide or walk away, because they can’t take it anymore.
The abuse. The overly-critical peers. The cult-like belief systems around being “dominant.”
But the movement is growing…
Ethical, science-based, compassionate training is spreading like wildfire, with this message:
You belong.
Your sensitivity, empathy, gentleness, and compassion are not only welcome—but necessary.
We need you.
Your soft, open heart is essential during these turbulent times.
Your work with your horse matters. Your inner work sends a ripple effect through the earth in ways you’ll probably never fully know 🦋
You belong. You matter. You are welcome here. ♥️
Keep shining bright so we can find each other, and keep changing horse industry—one horse, one person at a time ✨
