When people still talk about horses as if they have the capacity to be 'manipulative'. 💭😒

It is the year 2026, right?

Have you picked up a book lately?

When we attribute their behaviors or responses to us their lack of willingness we really lose the thread.... what made them feel this way in the first place?

Above all else, the size of their frontal lobe and prefrontal cortex alone renders them COMPLETELY INCAPABLE of abstract thoughts and malicious behavior.

There isn't anything that diminishes my opinion of a human being more than lack of accountability. Horses all truly try and get a long, but they are prey animals and although they are exceptionally brilliant, there is really only one thing on their mind:

Am I safe?

That's it.

So, what are you doing to prove to them that they are?

Because if you're viewing them from the mindset that they are out to get you, I can guarantee your default response to undesirable behavior is to punish it. That behavior is only a response to one of two things: fear or pain. I would bet my life now and three lifetimes from now. Replace the horse with a toddler hypothetically in that scenario.

Your child doesn't understand, or is scared, or is hurting.... they can't articulate words well to describe what their going through. They do things to get your attention one way or another. What if every time they tried to connect and express their concern they were punished?

They would either give up or get louder. The way you respond determines whether you fracture or strengthen your relationship.

Tell me I'm wrong.

Provide evidence, too.

I'll wait 💅

We've spent eight years in this beautiful place building our Dream together. Goals have shifted, perspectives changed, and priorities are different but one thing will always remain:

I am confident the partner I chose for this life wholeheartedly wants to see me win, and that is half of what makes a person successful. (Leslie Desmond says if they're not there to help they're in the way, so I think I found a good one 😄)

When we bought this farm we closed exactly one month to the day before we were planned to be married here. It rained on our wedding day and I was supposed to ride my soul horse, Kharuso down the aisle, he was to give me away (not my parents🙄) but due to his umbrella phobia we nixed that idea. When the rain let up I had to get my pictures with my boy in my wedding dress! My husband understood, but the guests were a little miffed.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DANIEL DONAJKOWSKI (aka SuperDan)💚
