I went up to my horse trainers farm in Ocala to have a riding lesson with her a short while ago. Her name is Caroline Beste of the Tao of Horsemanship. She is an amazing trainer and rider. She rides with no bridle and her horses pick her up at the mounting block.
Caroline believes as I do in the spiritual connection with our horses, and she also asks permission before she gets on. This is why I was attracted to her when I was looking for someone to help me with one of my new horses. We have since become great friends over the years.
When I got there, I was amazed there wasn't anyone there but her. It was the first time that I had experience that, it was so quiet.
She had decided I would ride Lovey, her off the track racehorse she had rescued and restarted years ago. I was a little surprised because I thought I would be riding Zor, her huge Friesian sport horse I had ridden before.
I had come with the idea of having a riding lesson but when we got out to the riding arena Lovey had other ideas. She kept putting her hind end to me every time I thought about getting on her. So, I stopped to listen, to get quiet and see what she had to say.
She began to share with us both that she wanted us to know not to have agendas with the horses. The message was more directed towards Caroline at that moment. So, we began talking about what was happening with Caroline, her movement forward with her work with the horses. She began expressing how stressed she had been the past year and that she was ready for a change.
Caroline, Lovey, and I spent about 30 minutes or so standing together while both Caroline and I talked about how we felt about the new year ( this happened in January of 2022), what we needed and wanted. We both were being authentic and honest, sharing our desires, fears, and understandings.
All the while Lovey stood at liberty with us, yawning, licking, and chewing.
I kept getting messages form Lovey during this time with the first one being about agenda. I brought this up to Caroline who at first said "how can I teach without having an Agenda!"
This is not an easy thing for any of us to do, to let go of control in some areas of our lives. I understood where Caroline was coming from, and how she felt.
Is was beginning to make sense why we were there that day and no one else was there but us. Its always amazing when we get out of the way and are open what will show up for us to learn.
Lovey was showing us when we let the horses show us the way, mystical things can happen! I personally have witnessed miracles occur when we get out of their way and let them show us the way.
Lovey next showed me how the horses could be mediums or hosts for other spirit guide animals to come through them with healing energies and information for people to receive.
This felt like a huge opening to the other worlds I had not thought of before. I could see elephants, dolphins and other creatures coming forward to share their wisdom with us.
We all have animal spirit guides that come in and out of our lives at different times when we need them. When we get quiet, listen, and observe, they will reveal what we need to hear, see or feel at that time. They are always there to assist us to come back to our nature.
So, wow this day turned out way different than Caroline or I had planned!! They are great reminders to be in the flow of the universe and the Divine.
The Ego would like us to put everything in boxes because It feels safe that way. The Soul wants us to create and be outside of the boxes. Our animals help us to move outside of these boxes and into the mystical, to follow our authentic selves and higher consciousness.
