Sally Speaks Through Us: "Neigh, Neigh - We'll Remember You for the Difference You Made"

Wednesday, December 23, 2009

LaskaThank you, Sally.  We can tell the difference when we have a Centered Riding rider on our back using soft eyes, breathing, balance and centering to communicate with us and gently steer us on the way we should go.  Thank you for all those exercises that encourage riders to pretend they are US so that they won’t poke us or thump on our backs or give us conflicting messages about where they want to go!

Thank you for the way you taught other people to deal with us in a compassionate and loving way.

You’ve made our lives better.  We will remember and appreciate you for all our days.

This concludes our Sally Speaks Section of the eBulletin.  We as individuals, teachers and lovers of horses, are filled with gratitude for the gift she gave to this world and will keep her in our hearts forever.
