Saying ‘Yes’ By Hans-Michael Schoebinger The validity of this statement is demonstrated best by a simple exercise: Standing to the left of the horse, with your left hand on the nose about halfway between where her nostrils and where her eyes are, softly get in touch with the nose, so that your index finger would …

Road Rage by Hans-Michael Schoebinger

Leave a Comment / Mindfulness

Road Rage By Hans-Michael Schoebinger The Haflinger mare would avoid the jump and simply bypass it on the side. “She is definitely not your friend”, the riding instructor commented our third miss in a row.

The Still Surface of the Lake by Hans-Michael Schoebinger

Leave a Comment / Mindfulness

The Still Surface of the Lake by Hans-Michael Schoebinger “THE ‘DELUDED MIND’ (…) IS THAT STATE IN WHICH A PERSON IS BOUND TO THE EGOCENTRIC MOVEMENT OF THE EMOTIONS, AND IS CAPTIVATED BY LOVE AND HATRED.

Trying Hard By Hans-Michael Schoebinger “She has to trot”, my trainer yelled, “It is all pointless if she does not trot. Trot, only then canter!

Steady Progress by Hans-Michael Schoebinger

Leave a Comment / Mindfulness

Steady Progress By Hans-Michael Schoebinger That’s a big one. For me it holds several important trains of thought. Firstly, “little by little” constitutes Atli Gudmundsson’s hands-on instruction of how to work with the horse. In fact, I have heard that statement from him so many times that I would call it the motto for his …
