Without them, we cannot do this.
Horses grant wishes every day all around the world, acting as our fairy godmothers, and we rarely notice.
Our horses disguised so that we don't see their wings, their princess crowns, the wildflowers braided into mane and tail.
And did I just hear you say, "Ridiculous!"
But what do you call someone who has been busy granting wishes? Someone who has been paying more attention to what you want and what you are thinking than the aids you've been giving.
The answer to the question asking if your horse is a fairy godmother is yes if your horse has been busy granting wishes.
We think this is about the Technical. In the world of horsemanship, a relentless pursuit of the perfect aid often takes center stage. Hours are spent refining technique, ensuring each cue delivered with flawless precision. But what if there's a more fundamental element at play, a force that transcends technical mastery?
The truth is, for a horse—a sentient being with its own thoughts and feelings—the most important factor in how well it does for you isn't the finesse of your aids, which might surprise you.

Kjrsos ~ A Way to Live That Changes Things
This is how we become more powerful teachers, mentors & friends
To our horses, to each other, to the earth and to all living things.
The Kjrsos Experience ~ Is knowing the horses are our fairy godmothers.
???When we embrace the raw, untamed spirit that connects us to all living things, that's when the horses truly see us.
Finding the Final Beginning
Connecting to All Living Things
Requires that Living Things Want to Connect to Us
When the horse no longer wants to help us, we've lost a friend, we've lost our teachers. We've lost our guides and we're just lost after that.
We Need Our Fairy Godmothers
Another Breakthrough.
Another awareness from searching through the beginnings we've been looking for. The foundations we need to make what follows true. We continue the journey of looking for the beginnings that we can build upon. Beginnings that can change what comes afterwards. Because it turns out only beginnings can do that which is why it is so important to find them.
Here we take another step backward, finding a beginning that comes before the one we found before.
A foundation that, if lost, means none of it can happen. The most important thing that we need to protect. Making sure the horses want to help us.
A foundation that, when there, everything just flows.
Do NOT underestimate the importance of this key foundational element.
