There’s so much talk around these days about enlightened masters and gurus. It’s common knowledge that if you accept one as your personal guide, they will make sure you assist you to along with your personal development. It almost makes you are feeling compelled to really have a teacher!

My theory is that we don’t all need teachers, but most of us have to be students. It’s humbling. And being humble could be the opening to a deeper discovery.

But in my experience not only human beings are great teachers. Pets and animals are great teachers too. So might be mountains, oceans, deserts and flowers. All life is pulsing with teaching. We just need to be open and have the guidance.

Horses are healing creatures and teach us to own faith and trust, develop our leading abilities and stay committed to your vision. This happens a course in miracles, for me, even on tough days when nothing appears to work. They could teach us, such noble beings as they are, that we can love unconditionally, share freely, communicate openly and create cooperatively. To truly have the ultimate relationship with a horse there must be no hidden agendas, no limitations on love and no withholding of anything.

Now that may be tough, but we have a choice in these matters. All decisions and choices we make may create a critical impact and can cause an extraordinary impact on our lives. Like, when we decide to be scared, we WILL be scared. Let’s face it, in the long run there’s nothing really to forget of, unless we DECIDE that there is. But we can make it up and we can pretend. You see, all beings reflect what and who we are in relationships – horses are no exception. Remember that the entire world was designed for us so that we might have a context within which to have ourselves as who we really are.

It’s fundamental to realise that we are truly connected with everything and everyone. What will work for may very well not be beneficial to your horse. What is detrimental to may very well not be also detrimental to your horse. It’s not as you are able to only change your horse’s behaviour; your horse can influence you to change your own personal behaviour. My horse has been certainly one of my greatest teachers. When I work and play with him, my every thought, word and deed is reflected. It’s not really a revolution on how we use horses that’s needed, it’s a revolution of your head that we must certanly be having. It’s our convinced that we should change.
