There is little point in trying to force a whole heap of changes onto people as they will turn and run away, thinking you are an extremist who has a screw loose. I am slowly changing those around me. My horses were agisted at a huge facility, where all horses lived outside 24/7, in huge groups of 10 to 40 horses. But most rode traditionally with bits. There were a few who rode in rope halters and just spent time with their horses and gave advice to those who asked. I made several people think and they now ride bitless and don't always come see their horse to ride. Times are changing and the more of us that plant seeds, the better because people want to learn new ways, they are just stuck in old traditions that they later question and wonder how they didn't find a way to step outside the square on their own.Kamilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12280167899627178401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-802153206102856416.post-67705071895006865862010-03-24T06:16:25.413-07:002010-03-24T06:16:25.413-07:00Thank you for this blog!

I just fnished my equine massage theraphist education. And I am struggeling a bit with the idea of making horse owners I don't agree with my customers. At the same time I try to think that, even though theese horses still have the same owner, if i help their bodies feel better, and maybe give some careful hints to the owners based on problemes the horses have, at least they will feel better than without my visits. So thanks again for this. I will add your blog-address to my favourites :)<br /><br />Renate, NorwayTromsøHestemassasjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06410925190777414890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-802153206102856416.post-80245933719658641312010-02-26T10:54:18.611-08:002010-02-26T10:54:18.611-08:00Greetings,

But just as much the world needs people like me, people who mingle in the “mainstream” equestrian activities and quietly plant the seeds of change. Neither life is easy, as we all are swimming upstream battling thousands of years of “know how” and questioning hundreds of years of equestrian knowledge."<br /><br />I salute both, the "Sams" and the "minglers" - we do need both. You are not alone in quietly leading by showing...by listening...I see you enacting the lessons you've been learning from Little Love. . . and you are not alone.forever in blue jeans, Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971214086040974793noreply@blogger.com
