The way we think about things created a feeling that shows up in our body and our horses are aware of it. This is why it is so important to take a look at your thinking. One place to start is by separating the facts from the story. Then look at each phrase of your story and identify the emotion you feel. "One of our own horses is having a hard time recently"— sad/guilty "For some reason she wants to spook at everything"— powerless She just reverts all back and I have to start all over again — inadequate Tonight was a very hard night— despair Sometimes when you look at your story from a different perspective you can make new decisions on how you want to proceed. Thoughts will occur but you have the power to decide what to do with them.
