Rebecca & Storm

This transformation of our relationship I know started with our healing sessions with Sue. It was a healing on an emotional level and I am so very grateful. I now have a trusting relationship with a beautiful little horse named storm thanks to Sue and her healing hands.

It is said that a good teacher is like a candle, they consume themselves to light the way for others. In my opinion this is what Sue Gardner has achieved by developing the Applied Equine Behaviour Home Study Programme. Sue encourages her students to be reflective and understand how connected we are with our horses. You gain an appreciation for the similarities we share with our equine friends, yet also develop an understanding for our differences. In my opinion the programme helps us to broaden our perspective so that we can grasp the complex web of factors which affect our human/horse relationships.

To fully embrace that horses are sentient beings
To achieve a deeper understanding of how they perceive us and the world around them
To know their innate needs and to make sure that you meet as many of them as possible
To develop a communication that is built around mutual respect
To keep focussed and in the moment whilst also staying in a playful/light state of mind

I chose this photo because I had been sitting on this box having a cup of tea when Dream appeared and put herself on it. By standing up on this box she could see over the tops of the stables to the fields behind, which she loves to do.

Dream had developed enough trust and confidence to step up onto the box to enjoy the view without having to ask my permission, wait to be asked or having an expectation of a food reward. She did it for her own gain and enjoyment and we happily shared the box together, which is why I love this photo.
