Horses KNOW when they are in a SAFE environment. Children and equines are typically very trusting if their early environment have been “trustworthy.” If they are treated well-they trust you. This picture says it all.
If you find yourself generally “not trusting”, you have not been treated well enough in your past. Horses and people are “herd” animals and rely on their early intimate relationships to form a sense of well-being and trust. The emotional health of the human and equine herd is critical to the well-being of all members in the herd. What was your family like? Did you learn the fundamentals of BASIC TRUST in your family? How healthy was the herd you grew up in?
Our work at Denim ‘n Dirt is all about creating an environment to help others “heal their wounds” from early “less than optimal environments” as well as teaching our patients about “reading the cues” to assess who is trust worthy and who is not. What do you see in this picture? Who is trusting who and why?
