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!
