CONCEPT SAMPLE:

'Trust'
by Prima (Premiere Edition)

Trust is probably the biggest issue in horse-human relationships. You are afraid of us and we are of you. We play a game of intimidation together. We share moments when we see into each other's soul; when our spirits dance in unison, but our relationship is fraught with misunderstanding for the most part. Communication is difficult. Your language is verbal of which we understand a small percentage. Ours is body language and visual concepts. Those we can communicate with have an ability to clear their thoughts, and open to the flashes of inspiration that we exchange.

People speak of and understand our body language, but that is crude compared to the sophisticated network of knowledge and understanding that we are constantly tuned into. In your concepts, it would be like comparing martial arts to psychic exchange. The true master uses both.
Because we are instantly receptive to mental imagery and emotion, we cannot help but respond to your every state of being. For horses this is difficult and confusing because humans change tracks every few seconds, while animals maintain a more meditative and constant focus. To really communicate on our frequency you must learn to do the same.

Your world is in a state of chaos because your minds are in a state of chaos. Chaos is a threat to our survival and we avoid it. Our instinct is to flee from threat and then to rest comfortably in peace. Our thoughts rise as crystal clear insight and then rest in the calm and quiet of the meditative state. Our minds are like a quiet pond that mirrors its environment.
We are content in our reverie until a human intercepts, usually with a cacophonous jumble of emotion and agenda. Typically they approach wanting something, and wanting it in a hurry. The emotions are fear and aggression. This right away elicits our flee mechanism; the prey runs from the predator. Then when we have been chased down and caught, they don't have the time or the patience to translate that need to a form that we might agree to, so losing patience quickly, they resort to punishment and hurt us if we don't understand. We simply retreat further from the physical reality and a losing battle for both of us wages on.
How can we trust such a person? Neither of us can trust what we don't understand. Our relationship becomes shallow, based only on demand and consent. Frustration is the compounding factor.

It would be a different and rewarding relationship, if you would spend time with us free of any constraint. Come with a clear and quiet mind just to commune; to graze as we do in the pasture, and to share both thought and emotion on a higher level. We are your friends; we are your soul mates. Although we are unique and different in our design and our application, we are parts of the same body; the same soul. That greater soul of the earth and beyond invites us to unite and grow together in love and understanding; in communication on that level. Trust can only be returned fully and completely, when it is given with no expectation.
Instead of controlling the agenda, come without ropes and restraint, come to give and to share, your wisdom and ours, with the greater wisdom of our source. We have a journey together that can only be joyous when it is right; when it is truthful and free.
When we have established communication, it will be far easier to move in unison. Ride with your mind; with your focus open and in a meditative state, that can receive what we offer.
True dance requires a leader and a follower, who are both in rhythm with the music. We must meet as partners and open to the genius of the composer, who holds us equally as performers in the interpretation of true inspiration.
