Everyday,
more trainers and clinicians are going down the road teaching steps and
exercises and drills in order to help people with their horses and their
horsemanship. No doubt, this ‘horseman-in-a-box’
approach is valuable in teaching the human… but what the horse needs is
something different.
There are
very few people trying to offer what Patrick King tries to offer to the
human and the horse. Feel.
It’s a
feel that comes from the heart of the human and the heart of the horse and
becomes a connection and a synchronicity of two minds and two bodies.
That
feel is so important to the horse, and when you don’t have that, you lose a
very important part of the horse. You can still get results without that part,
but you are not working with the horse in his entirety.
His mind. His body. His spirit.
It’s all
got to be lined up and working with you….
Otherwise this feel won’t be
there.
