****************************

When someone becomes an instructor, they become the authority.  The person you look to for answers. 

Human nature and our society have taught us to respect authority. Created a response in us that we give without thinking about it.  To follow their instructions, to listen to what they tell us to do.  To believe what they tell us. 

Being the teacher means coming across as having authority, as having the right answers. 

Taking away from the authority figure, the right to say, "I don't know".

Because to say "I don't know" is saying I am not the expert, I am not the one that should be in charge. No, you should not be listening to me. 

It seems the more you progress, the less likely that you are to proclaim to the world, "I don't know," or I just haven't figured that out yet, or that confuses me!

I would like to suggest that we go through three basic levels as instructors. 

At the beginning in the first level, we are young, untried, unconfirmed in our authority, still willing to look to other instructors for knowledge and help.

In the second level we write the book, we win some prize, we become the expert and we are confirmed in our authority. We are the authority and can't admit that we just don't know or are questioning everything that we are teaching. I mean what right would we have to ask you to pay us each week if we admit how much we don't know?  

In the third level we no longer think that we are the expert. Things have changed. 

We see so much that is being taught that troubles us, and not only can we say we are still questioning, still asking, we can admit that we are still and always will be in the process of discovery. That this learning experience never ends.

Which means that at any point in time, in the past, now or in the future, what we share, some of it will be wrong, or at the very least need to be reevaluated. Tweaked in a way that we can't appreciate yet.

*Pulling Them into Our World or Stepping into Theirs

So brilliant watching an Equine Facilitator asking the herd, "Who wants to come to work today and help me with this very special client?" And then watch one of the horses answer.  Walking up to the gateway waiting patiently for the halter to be put on and walk through the gate and say they are offering their services.

We ask and they answer. 

Amazing to experience.  Amazing to watch. 

Brilliant is so many different ways.

The horse leaving the herd behind to come into our world.

An offering, freely given.  Saying, "I can come and help." 

But there is another possibility.

A different experience we can have.

Have you ever been on the back of a horse well used to rabbit and gopher holes and felt that moment when galloping, where the moment before you were perched securely, and the next, the horse disappears from underneath you, and he literally goes down the rabbit hole? 

The first thought. Sheer panic.

Did you know that instructors lie to their students? Unwilling to be completely truthful. Worse, never planning to tell them the truth, ever.

A rein aid.

We seldom spend time wondering and thinking about what we want a rein aid to do beyond stop, slow down or turn the horse in a new direction. We seldom consider where the rein aid reaches inside his body. 

Few spend much time wondering about the corresponding effects in the horse's body that make these aids so effective. Allowing us to control an animal so much larger and stronger than us.

Few spend much time wondering how and why this works. The reason behind centuries of throwing a bridle on the horse's head.

Touching on the rein does more than turn his nose in one direction or another, so that he ends up turning left or right.  Does more than slow him down as we pull backwards or increase pressure upon the reins. 

The effects of the reins cascade throughout his body, giving us access to more than just his head and neck.

We put them in stalls that are ten by ten.

We ride them in arenas that are only fifty feet or seventy-five feet wide.

We put them often in paddocks that are much smaller than the arenas that we ride in.

And in the process, we take away what they were born to do.

Head bowed, eyes cast to the ground, the witness is mute and cannot be heard.

Can not speak to the truth of the pain they are witnessing.

Because they will never have proof. It is the word of one soul against business corporations and the entire force of the government behind them, supported in part by those who we thought were on our side.

And if the witness can't speak what is to happen to those who they are trying to help, who have no voices to start with?

Eyes beg, eyes weep, but nothing is heard but the silence of the winds.

Tens of thousands swept up, put in what must seem like jail to them.  They had their freedom and now that is gone. Taken away from home, from family and friends, put in a pen with no voice to rant or rave or even to quietly beg to just let them go home.

I was so determined when beginning this new venture of Kjrsos about staying in the positive and staying away from the negative.  Best to share the best of what works, rather than keep advocating on what was wrong. Critical thinking of course is important.  Awareness and information is as well.  But it often can end up quite emotional and critical of the individual and not just the practice even when you don't want it to. Especially when you realize the horse is suffering. And hard on us when we spend endless time in an negative emotional state. And hard on the horses.

An outcome influenced by the horses, seeing what they had to offer and knowing that for me to have the best relationship with them that I could have, and to best learn from them, that what was in my heart and expressed in my spirit was important.

But I keep falling off the band wagon to be honest. Hard to stay sweet and calm when so many times, I just feel like crying or yelling in frustration.  Upset for the horses, disturbed by what they were going through. Depressing to see the consequences for the horses when there is no reason for them to be going through this.

But it is not only the horses that suffer.  Their riders do too.

Once I pooh-pawed the very idea of animal communication. At least until I understood that at least one-half of this was within the grasp of anyone. No ESP required.

Not when our focus is not on what they are trying to say to us, but instead on them hearing us.

And once you understand this, it can fundamentally change everything.
