Horse Time Emily & Carla

In this episode, we answer a question posed by one of our listeners focused on the role expectations play in our relationships with our horses. We share more about our own experiences with expectations, and how this comes into play within the perspective of the Being with horses philosophy.

Please excuse the sound in this episode - that's what we get for recording this during a mercury retrograde, but we thought the topic felt too relevant not to share ;)

Welcome back to another episode!
In this episode we talk all about horse care, management, and meeting our horses’ needs. This is a complex topic, and for us it’s all about balance and figuring out what works best for us and our horses. Using Lauren Fraser’s Three F’s as a basic guideline, we explore what it looks like to meet our horse’s basic needs in our domesticated world, and share some of our personal experiences navigating common challenges around management and meeting needs.

Horse Time is back for Season 2! In this episode we illuminate the Being with Horses philosophy for you through some real-time examples from the clinic we hosted in October - namely a block Emily kept running into in her sessions with Arya. And we share, quite personally, on how our commitment to walking this path with our horses has rippled out in every other area of our lives rewarding us with the gifts of integrity, bravery, empowerment and patience.

In this episode, Carla and Emily share their biggest takeaways from their time at the Being with Horses Intensive in Germany - including moving beyond deep patterns of perfectionism, becoming more self-assured around horses and what it’s like to work with stallions.

We hear so often that horses are our mirrors, but what does that actually mean? In this episode, Emily and Carla explore what makes horses such powerful mirrors to a person’s inner state of being, how horses often seem to have stories that reflect our own, and why this reflection is so important to receive. Emily shares how her fiery mare Arya has invited her to embody the archetype of the warrior woman and connect to her boldness and power. And Carla shares how Frankie has taught her all about (self)acceptance, inherent self-worth, and unconditional love.

In this episode, Emily and Carla dive deep into the topics of personal boundaries and leadership - and how important it is for us to be true to ourselves and our inner knowing in order to earn our horses’ trust. Listen in to learn how you can foster a relationship with your horse that is built on interdependence and mutual respect and how this journey of growth can (and will!) have a beneficial impact on all other relationships in your life -most notably your relationship with yourself.
