What is dancing with horses to you?
My answer:
To me, dancing with horses is complete freedom. It is not having any thought or holding back. It is your dance and the horse's dance mixed together. It is movement without thought or time or stress. It is complete lightness, connection, and expression. It is letting go while holding on. It is being in the moment completely, but with another being. It is having strength in both of you and being able to do everything you feel like without holding back. Truly, more than anything, it is letting both of your spirits fly together and letting the physical play out because of the spirit and the soul of the two mixing together.
One day, I will dance with horses.
My continuation:
Dancing with horses will never be so much about the technique, but more about the dance itself. It is a very graceful thing, the dance with horses, but it is also very interpersonal. You would have to be able to know your self so well, and to know your horse so well - but not just by personalities. You would need to go deeper than soul-level with your horse, and be able to truly connect. Connection is one of the first steps for being able to dance - but before then, we have to be able to be quiet. And listen.
To dance with horses would mean that you are already free.
Julia:
"Don't be afraid to connect, but don't wish to connect so hastily that you toss it away.
Care to explain in more detail please?
My answer:
Hehe. This is just about being not so unsure about yoruself, because you can connect. But not wishing so much, because connecting is something that comes. If you wish for it too much, it goes away. Connecting is connecting. In mind, heart, soul, and body. It is where you touch each other's heart with hand and hoof, yet when you do not join because you are still two distinct, independent, beautiful beings.
My continuation:
With this "connection" that I speak of, you can do almost anything with the horse - but the moment that you expect your horse to do everything you wish through connection, you have already failed, because you have taken away your recognition of your horse's independence.
