"Meeting a stranger is the most incredible opportunity to find a new friend" For those visiting this page who do not know me yet, Welcome, for those who I know, love, who I am grateful for in my life, thank you for putting up with my awkwardness at making friends until you see through it to the genuine care and love!
Hey, Hi, I'm Rebecca but call me any variation you like, I like being gifted a name that suits me by you.
Balance Horsemanship came about when I decided everything with horses relates to balance. Every aspect of our thoughts, our actions, our emotions, our physicality requires balance to be functional, we can experience extremes but find rest in the centre. For our horses we have choices to make for them, their lives, their training, their feed, their friends, their enviroment and so on. Balance is not just part of the physical aspect of training the horses body, but applies to the entirety of our hearts, souls and spirits. When there is physical balance it settled a space for the mind and emotions to rest without tension.
I have a depth of education with horses and have studied with trainers from all over the world to find the ways to have healthy, relaxed horses who enjoy learning and are engaged with their humans to have ease and grace in their partnerships.
Every horse and every problem is looked at holistically, from an emotional aspect, physical aspects, mental aspects and environmental aspects, to try to negate any situation that would lead to judgement, blame or shame directed towards human or horse.
Teaching and problem solving is approached with care, consideration and without judgement to meet you where you are at and guide you along the path you wish to go.
So things you might need to know about me:
> I love a wooly hat, if its too hot for my wooly hat, then its over comfortable temperature! Summer is no boundary for the wooly hat wearing!
> My horses are family, they are wonderful as they are and owe me nothing more then their presence. Now they love to engage and we work for the joy of it. My horses are offered joy and peace if I catch myself adding judgemental pressure, then it's time to retreat, regroup and shift to where we connect from an open heart.
> I love the idea of competing with horses and have huge respect for those who do, but the horse will always come first for me. If its not in their best interest then its not the choice I want to be making. I get super nervous these days so don't often put myself through it!
> I believe anything is possible with enough time and preparation and I am stubbern enough to want to prove it! but I also like the easy path now so choosing the things that are suited to you and your horse enjoying them together works best!
> My life is held together by a faith and love of the Trinitarian God: Father, Son and Spirit and a host of Angels that protect me while I go about my day. God teaches me through horses and horsemanship and His goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life. One of the most important lessons for me is letting go of feeling safe by being right and allowing the mess that is learning to habituate, stay in a state of judgment and letting learning through each decision I make be a blessing.
> I class myself as Autistic and occasionally have a melt down, however some amazing friends have helped me so much in the understanding of my mind and its little trap doors and how to reset the mental computer when it malfunctions. The plus side to this is I get on really well with Autistic horses! they make wonderful sense to me, the sensitives and quirky's are my catnip!
> I also love to sing and bake cake....
For those who have read all this, thank you, for those who know me and want to add anything to my introduction, please feel free to add in the comments.
With Love and Blessing and Welcome to the Balance Horsemanship Page, Rebecca x
