Sapphire. "The Escape" and what we did after we caught her again.

Published 2024-03-31
We test Sapphires ability to find peace by herself however she still needs me to find that feeling of security.

    So perfect, though in its way... I absolutely loved how you calmly went after her, brought her back and continued the session. She was still looking for any way out possible. I was waiting for when she would finally turn inward instead of out. My days of training are behind me now, but it's such a magical dance of communication and I loved every minute. It was a gift.
  • Wow, that was so beautiful to watch her figure out how to calm down, which is to run to you.

    Beautiful, loving, respectful and smart job of letting the mare settle a bit before allowing her to refocus her mind and look for leadership. Just proves how smart horses can practically scare themselves to death sometimes. And thank heaven you didn't "punish" her for taking advantage of the open gate! I think most bad horse handling is because the horses either take advantage, like this time, or embarass the handler. And some humans are just cruel. You are a gem, though! You encouraged her to get over her self administered fright and to "meditate" with you. So terrific to watch! Thanks for the master class.

    She is like I'm free!!!! Peace out! She is like, dang they found me!! Let me try that again!! Denied!

    Sometimes it's in those moments of chaos we learn our greatest lessons. She may have been telling you she's bored with that lesson, let's find something else. I like how you kept her moving after she joined up,not letting her refocus on the situation.Well done.

    She had the zoomies and she definitely knew where all the gates are.She is a lovely mover and she is having fun showing off! ❤❤ Watching you working with her when she finally came back to you was so interesting. Everything you said and did was done with so much calmness.
  • The same way to work with children. Be consistent. Firm. Yet loving.
  • This was so beautiful…you left me in tears at your gentleness and sensitivity to what she needed and was feeling. Thank you. 🙏😢
  • Wow. That little exercise you did with Saphire ??? was beautiful. Show us more, please!

    I loved those words... to find peace by herself. That to me says it all and you have the insight to give to this horse. Hope she finds whatever she needs. Rotorua, New Zealand 🇳🇿

    I’ve had this happen to me. I did the same thing. It’s interesting to actually watch a horse want to connect.
  • @GalopaWXY
    Why did you leave her in panic mode for so long? It feels like it would have been better to help her calm down a lot sooner?

    Great to see the patience of the trainer. It is what more parents should do whith their children... Patience and giving safety and security!
