There’s a movement… a process, a growth, a shift… a change that’s happening in the horse world, and in all the world. A balancing. Think of it like the life of a human when one goes through tough times. What isn’t needed anymore fades, and what is, stays… all on the way into a rebirthing of oneself.
For thousands of years the physical-based masculine energies of the world (working, building, providing, grounding, strengthening, protecting) were the focus in fast-moving, expanding civilizations. It was about our survival; we were trying to control the world around us. And so this led the way in horsemanship, as horses were a major part of our survival, helping us to carry, pull, farm, fight, and make money. But when masculine energies get out of balance they turn to intimidation, degradation, and dominance. They turn to force.
But now we’re in the middle of the feminine energy coming into balance with the masculine. The heartfelt, spiritual-based, inward energies of care, connection, compassion, creativity, along with flow, intuition, and emotional intelligence/depth.
Feminine and masculine energy are the creative energies of the universe. And every person has both masculine and feminine energy within them. Each and every person is a unique combination of them. And when we’re in touch with our balance of these energies we create so beautifully.
The masculine energy’s initial intention is innocent. It’s designed to hold on, be strong, fight, protect what is, keep things the same, and control in order to keep things safe. It’s designed to save what is already there. But when it got out of balance, it turned to too much taking and forcing.
This shift is going to feel messy. Just think of your own major life changes. How it’s hard to let go. When you become aware of something… when your eyes are opened… you now see all that is painful, and where it comes from, and what you need to do to change… but the doing of it takes time.
I greatly respect the past, its teachings, and its traditions. I honor all, and honor all who helped us to get where we’re at now. But to fight the change that’s happening in the horse world, where we connect and care for horses first, and have the life we experience with them be born from that… to reject that is to be stuck in a past that is no longer in the present.
We can still work and ride, ranch and race; horses can be willing to carry us, willing to give to us in all ways. It’s just that the world is becoming not willing to sacrifice their well-being for all that. And this shift is happening fast, that’s why it’s uncomfortable for many.
We can have the best of both worlds. Horses are here to help us, and for thousands of years it was mainly with the strength of their bodies, and now they are entering into equally helping us with the strength of their spirit, heart, and soul. They’re helping us with our internal life, helping us with our own spirit, heart, and soul. And it is sacred work they’re doing.
Let go of seeing them only by what they can do for us, by seeing them as a commodity or something here just for our wants and needs and hopes. Their greatest gift is always solely in their presence. The fact they are in our lives.
See them for the gift they are and doors you never imagined will open, taking you to places you never thought possible… places you always wanted to go to…
