Thanks Jackie!

Hi Jackie,

Thank you for your gracious welcome. I took some time to read several of your blog posts. I learned some valuable things about how you communicate with your horses to help them understand how to take care of you while you are riding.  I especially liked your blog about holographic thinking and horses and I have some insight that I hope you will find encouraging. Horses are holographic thinkers and so are humans. We also capture experiences holographically, meaning that experiences are stored in our cells in four basic dimensions.  We store the physical, emotional (feelings), mental (thoughts, decisions) and even spiritual (our sense of connection) dimensions of an experience, in our cells. For humans and for horses any part of that holographic experience that reminds us of the original experience can send us time travelling into the complete hologram and we will appear to act as if we are back there. I first learned this with dolphins when I began to swim with them 23 years ago. Horses do think differently because their language is different from ours, however, we both have the same facility to be taken back to a previous experience if triggered by something that reminds us of some dimension of a holgram. For example, if a horse was hurt in it's front, right leg just as a word was spoken that same word can trigger recall of that pain and send the horse into a reaction as if it's leg was just hurt. The same can happen to a human. The good news I want to share with you is that those holograms for horses can be transformed without having to use the process you described in your blog. I have been working as an Energy Medicine teacher for 27 years and discovered 2 years ago that the gentle hands-on techniques I use with humans to clear holograms works with horses, only much faster. The horses literally show and tell me where the energy is stored. Because they think in pictures I use pictures to work with them. Thanks for your courage to share.

Thank you for the welcome Jackie

thank you very much! :)

I am leasing a 11 yr. oldgrey welsh/arab/paint pony named Spring Jewel (spring) 

and own a 5 yr. old gelding named First Frost (jackson) 

thank you for your warm welcome! :)

no sweat. to each his own on how they ride or train. i have started many hunters and jumpers as well as a few dressage horses. i even have some 3day eventers come ride with us on occasion. so i may not be quite what you think. solid fondation of young horses is the basis of how we train. also everyone must realize that you can't put a round peg in a square hole so those horses just besome good solid riding horse and there is nothing wrong with that.

 

i do enjoy the debate

Thanks Jackie!

thank you so much! its great to hear a lovley comment on my riding! especially from such an experienced woman as you! sounds great! I love arabians. Spring is part arab! :)

Thanks! Looks like a great site for horse nuts, like me! :-)

Thank You Jackie I am really looking forward to meeting people who share my love and interest in arabian horses I presently own 2.

 

Thanks,

Susan

Hi Jackie, thank you for the welcome, this looks like a cool site and I look forward to participating :-). cheers, Leanne

hello Jackie a pleasure to meet you!

Thank you Jackie! she's a doll :-)

Thanks, I feel welcome already!(:

Yea, Arabs are awesome!(: I  luv them!

Thank you. 

Thanks Jackie! :-)

 

Thank you Jackie! I have started a discussion.

Thanks a lot Jackie!

Thanks Jackie!  I'm glad you enjoyed my videos:)

Thanks for the welcome Jackie

Hi Jackie-

Not often enough, unfortunately! Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks!

 

Thanks Jackie! I am taking small steps towards getting my daughters involved. My little Eva (8) just started training. She loves it!

Yes. I grew up riding (in Chile, where I see you started riding too! :)).

Life here  has prevented me from doing it. But now it is the time. I want to start by learning English riding, and then dressage. I think Eva might end up in eventing, because she is very sporty and is already studying ballet, which I think helps...

Jackie, thanks for being so welcoming. I could certainly use some advice, since I am new to this topic in the US, and it was so different in Chile... (just countryside horses!)

Yes... :) I also rode around vineyards... it is awesome... I wonder if they have that in CA...

Got to get going to drop my older daughter, Amanda (13) to the airport. She is leaving with a friend's family to Europe for a month... That is how all of a sudden our babies are gone...!

Do you have kids Jackie?

Jackie. You know the south of Chile better than I do. And you lived through those huge earthquakes!
I am Chilean, although a mutt (my dad is first generation in South America, Argentinian born, German/Belgian). My mom is Chilean. A real Spaniard! :)
I grew up in Vina del Mar (beach-town girl). But my parents had a little country house in Olmue where we spent weekends and summer vacations (maybe you have heard about Olmue?). In Olmue had a horse, Furia, a German shepherd, Lobo, and a standard poodle, Blackie. And chickens, ducks, etc. etc. It was nice growing up like that... Now that I am a grown up, I see my parents really gave it all to me and my brother...

Jackie,

I am glad we are in touch. Life is curious. My German cousins live in Saarland (that is the Black Forest, where my grandmother grew up). I feel very connected to my German heritance, and spent 2 months living there, when I was in my 20's, trying to discover who I was and where I came from : )

My German cousin Jutta also used to ride on horseback and had a black poodle (I did too). Neither of us suspected we had similar animals until we exchanged pictures while teenagers...

I am glad I brought back good memories to you. Chile remains a beautiful country. It is also now the one stable economy in Latin America and recently joined the OECD. Basically a developed country, ahead in telecommunications and infrastructure of all sorts.  Perhaps you would consider visisting? If you do so, don't miss the neighbor (Argentinian) towns and capital, Bariloche and Buenos Aires :)

Let's stay in touch!

All my best,

 

Sandra

Thank you...I will need someone to show me the ropes!!

 

Thank you!

 

Thank you so much!  I will have to get going on filling in info. Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Thanks Jackie, I'm looking forward to being here!

Happy to be your friend too and looking forward to reading your blogs and learning how to help my riders even more. Thank you!

Thank you!

I am enjoying it!

Hi Jackie, I am trying to send a message to Angie Golley regarding a sadle she is looking for. I just can not figure out how. Can you help me?

Thanks, Viv

Hi Jackie,  Glad to be your friend too!  My Fjord is 11 years old, I've had him or I should say he's had me since March 2008, 3 + years now.  We do dressage and compete locally.  He is one smart cookie and, came with a little baggage that we've slowly peeled away, Fjords are so adorable and loving that people forget that they are horses and they can get spoiled very fast.  He's a good boy and love him more everyday.  How about you, what do you do with your horse?

Thank you Jackie.  Time to learn to navigate this site!

Thank you :-)

 Thank you.

Nice to be here.

Hello! Me and my horse compete in jumpers :) how about you?

Thank you very much!

Hey Jackie,

Thanks for the welcome. I'm such a pathetic horse fool, without a horse! :( Pretty sad eh?

Oh well I live vicariously through those who have horses! I especially love Canadians. I am an artist, and love to paint horses especially Canadians. Catherine.

 

I'm just kidding about being a pathetic horse fool Jackie, but you know what it's like, once you been bitten by the bug, it's an addiction and when I'm not around them I feel a huge void in my life like I'm jonesin' for a drug! That's what I mean!!!

You are fortunate to have some horses to hang out with and ride!

I had been finding out so much about the Canadian horse Jackie before I finally got an opportunity to meet a whole herd a number of years back. I was in the middle of the field and they all came up around me. They are really people horses.

Jackie...I am so happy you ride! I have a number of very close friends who have MS and my brother had MS since he was 16, along with a cousin.  Horses are so healing. I have been a Youth Care Worker with troubled kids and saw how healing and empowering they are. But I know I don't have to tell you that!  Horses, art and kids...the best combo!

Thanks so much for your message. I think being a horse person helps anyone in so many ways. Most are a determined and maybe stubborn lot, which often is not a bad thing. My good friend Lynn who has had MS since she was 18 years old has been such an inspiration to me because she dedicates herself to her fitness routine and it has helped her immeasurably. I don't know how she would fair with riding but I'd love to see her have the opportunity! Yeah horses!!!

 

Hi Jackie,

Just wanted to tell you how much I love your posts and how appreciative I am of your fantastic contributions to our community! you are AMAZING!!!

Have a wonderful long weekend!!

 Barbara

 

Thanks you very much!! i hope so! :D
