Equine Encounters Nosara

An encounter with horse and self. Our mission is to to allow you to spend quality time with horses in order to connect with them and with yourself.

Are you interested, intrigued or fascinated by horses and would like to learn more about them ? Are you wishing to experience something new, to help you relax and bring you in the present moment ? Are you interested in your personal development and well being ?

Here you will spend time with horses in a mutually respectful way, without the added pressure of having to ride them. Activities may inc

lude mingling with the herd in the arena, grooming the horses, walking them and undertaking some more challenging activities such as walking them through an obstacle course, or lunging them.

Equine Encounters programs are not about horseback riding, although mounting a horse may be included for those who are interested and able to do so. These programs are offered to individuals or small groups (friends, couples, families, co-workers) and take place at Rancho las Tres Yeguas, where my small herd of three beautiful horses will welcome you.

The interaction with horses will allow you to practice mindfulness, to quieten your mind down, and gather useful insights about yourself, becoming more aware of your feelings and emotions, discovering your own unique strengths and learn to develop them and apply them in all areas of your life. As a person works with a horse, they start to make discoveries about themselves in the process. Horses provide instant feedback about our attitudes, emotions, and body language that we may not even be aware of. It is this instant feedback that makes equine assisted experiences such a powerful tool. Participants can’t ignore what a horse is relaying to them, and they’ll find that as they start to make adjustments, they get better results from the horse. These same adjustments can be applied to many areas of your life, such as personal or professional relationships, can boost your self-esteem, encourage trust, patience. Becoming more aware of your feelings and emotions, of your body language and learning to be more present (mindful) will make you less prone to be in a reactive mode in challenging situations and better able to deal with them. You will also learn more about the nature of horses, discover their own uniqueness, their incredible sensitivity and experience their beautiful spirit. Learn techniques to handle horses with kindness, compassion and precise skills to earn their trust.

I've started adding Golden Paste to my horses feed. Turmeric, water, coconut oil and black pepper. Hopefully it will help with arthritis, and with their hooves.

Sweet whispering between horse and human. Openness to messages and insights.

Authenticity is the true bedrock of nervous system regulation-- the ability to be and express yourself.

Dysregulation and trauma occur when we exist in environments where how and who we are cannot safely emerge. Where our thoughts, feelings and opinions are habitually hidden as part of a safety strategy.

This constant suppression and incongruence between our inner world and outward, lived reality causes our sensory tendrils designed to feel into the world to be cut off. We turn in on ourselves.

Vitality is swallowed and behavioral patterns take over in an attempt to survive and to control.

To holdfast to authenticity and following what you love is to holdfast to healing and to health.

To allow others, human and non-human, to express and be their authentic selves is to promote community values centering on the same.

We had a lovely session of connection and presence this morning. Facilitated by gorgeous Indiana. Discovering the subtle and authentic moments when the connection comes from the body and heart. The Horse knows when you are in your monkey mind.

This ! A beautiful article, stunning photos and a heartfelt tribute to both horses and one of the modern mentors who is helping to bring more awareness and compassion to these incredible animals.

Warwick Schiller made his name as an expert trainer. An enigmatic little horse completely changed his outlook.

You know how your great aunt can’t be around you without commenting on your weight?
You know how your mother in law can’t stop asking when you’re gonna have a baby because she’s dying for grandchildren?

You know how your mom licks that napkin and squeezes your face while she whipes dirt off your cheek?
You know how, when you were a child, your parents brushed your hair too fast, pulled on your hair, and your feelings were dismissed? “Oh you’re being such a baby!”

You know the way that family dinner is so stressful, but your aunts make amazing food- so you have the draw of the food, and the stress of the discord and passive aggressive comments? You know the pressure to have seconds, to not offend, coupled with a comment on your weight?

You know all those tiny, nitpicky, well meaning things that drive you crazy? You know how horrible the hands that fuss over you feel? You know how terrible the dissonance between what’s said and what’s felt is?

They’re made to sound like they’re for you, but they’re not- they’re for the person doing them.
Don’t be that guy with your horse.

Pinching, picking, constant cleaning, fussing
Nitpicking every little step
Fussing with buckles, forgetting about the horse and wrenching leather over soft, sensitize surfaces
Yelling, smacking, emotional corrections and making up for it with food

Those are not for the horse- they’re for you.

Every touch should be for the horse.
Touch with intention
Focus on the task AND the horse
Guide, with care
Say no when you have to, without judgement or emotion
Say yes when you can, without going off the rails
Bring the horse to center
And be someone they find peace standing next to.

This month's message from the Horse Ancestor and Spirits via Kathy Pike gives us excellent tips on releasing attachments and staying in the flow of our heart's desires!

Horse Spirits Speak Monthly Message What am I being summoned to do? You are being summoned to your heart’s desire and your soul’s calling. You are being summoned to a more open and expanded version of yourself; a version of yourself that you began with and you may have lost your way from, but to...
