Don't Make Assumptions

I recently read "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz and was inspired by the simplicity of those principals. So this is my take on the third one:

DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS

How I love this one - because I am just as guilty as anyone else! Let's take the following examples:

  • stubborn as mule
  • my mare is such a witch
  • he is just so stubborn
  • she won't let you do that
  • he has always been that way
  • he is choosing not to listen to me

I am quite sure you have your own list, as I have mine. The beauty of my work - it absolutely REQUIRES me to set all of it aside and start fresh, even with horses that I have worked with for a long time. Just because a horse had difficulty with something during the last session does not mean I will find the same the next time. Just because a mare won't allow her owner to touch her previously injured left hind does not mean I won't be able to.

Letting go of assumptions allows me to receive information and what the horse has to say in a different way. It clears the fog so to speak. It creates opportunities to see things from a different perspective, to really listen, to become aware, to be HERE, NOW. It's one of the most important lessons I learned from my horses. When you stop making assumptions, you really are living in the moment. 

It can totally and completely transform your relationship with your horse.
