The first signs of STRESS!  --horse and/or human

STRESS RECOGNITION, and REDUCTION

 

 

 

 

Stress, is a 'root cause'  

--of Mind (mental, emotional), Body (physical) & Spiritual  BANKRUPTCY!

  Uncovering the root causes of Stress, is to begin untangling the web of personal confusion

--not concentrating on or treating --the symptoms.

What causes stress?

(for humans) Family, friends, personal problems, jobs, money problems, social problems, and life, -being out of balance. (for the horse) Bad ownership, treatment, or circumstance.

What are the first symptoms of stress? --The warning signs! 

  • Headaches

  • Lack of sleep

  • Aching muscles

  • Diarrhea

  • Retention of fluids

  • Feelings of unhappiness

  • Fatigued and

  • Lack of energy.

    (for the horse) fears, bad behavior, erratic movement, etc...

Do not ignore stress, or any of the phases.

1. Flight or Flight -our warning sign. (horse & human)

2. Denial, resistance, void! (horse & human)

3. Exhaustion! When the body shuts down. Then, it's the hospital )

* Our programs help to bring out & resolve, hidden or repressed (memories), stressors that can haunt us for a lifetime, IF left un-attended, or ignored!

Stress is known to alter the bodies hormones, adrenaline, and endorphins, and it changes our body chemistry, causing side-effects, or the diagnosed (labeled!) treatable symptoms, expensive to have treated.

To beat stress --Take a 'how to' class, and learn some techniques, Or, experience the world of the natural horse, by relaxation, visualization, & deep breathing, personal control, etc. etc...with us.

  Body tensions, or emotional issues --must be dealt with, before a 'natural' horse --(un-effected by human training, or interference) can trust, or be more comfortable with you. A confident horse is more safe, and a horse that likes you, will learn to take care of you, enjoying riding pleasures & journeys cross-country, 'with' you. [Human horse 'training' can alter a horses spiritual freedom, and therefore is simply submissive, just like some people] 

Riding a horse is a means to an end.  

What you seek, is what you get!

Our programs also de-stress the horse! 

--And, are they glad!
