Grateful.

Grateful is indeed the word I really have to mention for this 1st experience with horse coaching.

What a beautiful experience I had. We went to the outdoor arena, there 1 of the horses chose me, immidiately my feet were sniffed/licked. Even by the other horses/ponies. I was extremely surprised. After all, I have two sore feet due to chemo. It soon became clear that among the horses, my left foot was the favorite (this is my most painful foot). My arms and hands (also Painful) were not left out either.

What also surprised me enormously is that all but one of the horses and that’s fine, of course, voluntarily entered my aura. Some licked (even with their bottom tongues), smelled very close to my face, or hugged my hair and ears. Through questions on the ground, or from Alexandra (coach) and my answers, either the horses that had chosen me responded. Pressing head into me, walking away at the question and or standing delightfully protective behind me, while everyone else stood around me. How blessed I am to have these warm feeling from the horses towards me. A very, very special feeling.

Animal Kingdom.

By responding to my answer/experiences and the insights the horses mirrored to me, I came to know even more about myself. This gives me both strengths and even more peace. I even lay down in the meadow between the horses and the dog. That does say something about my trust towards the horses and their trust towards me.

I cannot describe well enough what it does to me (you really have to experience this yourself to understand properly I think). But, as I sit on a chair at home musing, I can still feel the love of the horses around me.

Dear Alexandra, what a experience this is already. Of course I don’t know yet what it will do to me in due course. Perhaps I will write about that in a sequel?

For now I am enormously grateful to you and your horses. I hope to experience this again in a while.

Thank you, big hug. Jacqueline.
