Day 24: Building Intimacy with Galaxy!

It's so easy to get so busy DOING with our horses that we forget to just BE with them!

But, as an ex-race horse, Galaxy deserves a chance to learn to just BE with a human- heart to heart.

So here, we build our intimacy with some quiet time, an excellent way to enjoy each other, but also a perfect experience to help Galaxy understand how to co-create a healing space with humans.

In the heart space, magic happens! Let's see how we created that space today so you can try it too!




Mmmmm, this was just so yummy, I wonder why we don't all take more time marinating in the love, right!?

Day 18: Galaxy Gets a Pasture Pal: See Who's Faster!

Most race horses are kept alone in stalls: a very alien environment for a herd animal! After a lot of preparation and over the fence introductions, today Galaxy gets to spend time in a wide open pasture with his first Herd Mate, 4 yo Jaren.





Although Jaren is another TB, he never raced. Who do you think is faster: Jaren or Galaxy? Let's find out!






Nothing quite as inspiring as horses galloping free, don't you think?

How does the sight of horses running free usually make you feel?

Day 15: How Stretch-y Are You?!

Horses coming off the track are often body-sore...it's time to introduce Galaxy to some body stretches to help assess his condition...have you tried these out before?

Day 14: First Taste of Freedom!

As a racehorse Galaxy spent all day in his stall, exercising on the track, or on the hot walker...he never had free time to express himself in wide open spaces.

It's my deep pleasure to introduce him to the first open pasture he has had a chance to enjoy since he was just a baby!

Contemplating Freedom!

Let's see what Galaxy thinks of the wide open Colorado Vistas!




Wow- never expected him to be SO easygoing during his first taste of freedom!

Day 11 Part 2: Releasing Heart Armor

Remember a few days back when Glaxy told me he had a few walls around his heart that he'd want help dissolving?

Well, today was the day!

I think that it's curious timing: right after working on adding another layer of respect to our partnership- after I was willing to show leadership- he was ready to release his walls!

I guess it takes trust, respect, and love as foundations to ask someone for help releasing your wounds...let's tune in as the process of releasing Galaxy's Heart Armor takes place...




Very sweet and such an honor to serve this noble being...don't we all have some walls in our hearts! Horses can too...

Day 11: Ritual 4: Leading from Behind

Today we continue to add another layer of respect to all that sweetness we’ve built up with the next Waterhole Ritual from Carolyn Resnick.

Ritual 4, Leading from Behind, continues placing the human in the leadership role. Since horse leaders are the ones that push the other horses around, we’ll do the same…and I do mean literally push- that’s how horses create their hierarchy- whoever can push the other from behind moves up the herd ladder, so to be a leader in your horse’s eyes, you need to be able to ask him move his feet and he needs to be willing to say yes!

Then you can dance together, in safety and harmony.

Let’s see what Galaxy thinks of that!

Day 10: A Quantum Leap into Trust: Napping with Galaxy!

You know those special firsts with a new horse, the kind you’ll always remember?

Today was one of those days. Galaxy hasn’t been here very long at all, and he’s choosing to offer his greatest possible display of trust: inviting me to take a nap with him!

These quiet moments when twos hearts share space are my most precious of all!

Plus it’s showing just how far Galaxy is coming in understanding this new type of relationship we are offering to him- and to so quickly be offered that gift of trust? Priceless!

 

Doesn’t get much more beautiful than that!

THANK YOU Galaxy for sharing your trusting heart with me. You are blossoming into an amazing healing partner.
