Shared from an amazing horsewoman Nan Harley! She hit the nail on the head! Truthfully she probably hits a lot of nails on the head every day ‘ Farm work do...esn’t make you stronger. It doesn’t make you anything. It reveals you. There’s gym strong and then there’s farm strong. They’re mutually exclusive. The toughest women you’ll ever meet spend their days on a farm. Well that certainly didn’t go as planned, is one thing you’ll say quite a bit. Control is a mere illusion. The thought that you have any, at any given time, is utterly false. Sometimes sleep is a luxury. So are lunch and dinner. And brushing your hair. If you’ve never felt your obliques contract, then you’ve never tried stopping an overly full wheelbarrow of horse manure from tipping over sideways. Trust me, you’ll find muscles that you never knew existed on the human skeleton to prevent this from happening. When one of the animals is ill, you’ll go to heroic lengths to minimize their discomfort. When you lose one of them, even though you know that day is inevitable, you still feel sadness, angst and emotional pain from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. And it’s a heaviness that lingers even though you must regroup and press on. You’ll cry a lot. But you’ll never live more fully. You’ll remain present no matter what because you must. There is no other option. You’ll ask for so many miracles and hold out hope until the very last. You will, at least once, face-plant in the manure pile. There are more uses for twine than you can possibly imagine. You can tie up a hole in a slow feeder, fashion a tail strap for a horse’s blanket, mend a broken fence and use it as a belt. You’ll find yourself saying things like, we have maybe twenty minutes of daylight left to git ‘er done whilst gazing up at a nonspecific place in the sky. You’ll become weirdly obsessive about the weather. You’ll go out in public wearing filthy clothes and smelling of dirt, sweat and poop. People will look at you sideways and crinkle their noses but you won’t care. Your entire day can derail within ten seconds of the rising sun. You can wash your coveralls. They won’t look any cleaner, but they will smell much nicer. Farm work is difficult in its simplicity. You’ll always notice just how beautiful sunrises and sunsets really are. Should you ever have the opportunity to work on a farm, take the chance! You will never do anything more satisfying in your entire life. And the ABSOLUTE BEST place to raise children. A farm life/work keeps you both humble and kind. ‘ SHARING FROM A FRIEND, thank you!

For over 400 years, four major world schools have preserved the Art of Classical Dressage; * The Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria * The Cadre Noir in ...Saumur, France * The Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art in Jerez, Spain * The Portuguese School of Equestrian Art in Lisbon, Portugal Each school is a guardian of the education, tradition, and artistic mastery of classical dressage. Those who practice the ART of classical horsemanship understand it is a lifelong study. One where you are forever a student. Even at the highest of levels, or in the highest of schools, there is never an end. What is learned along the way is absorbed, recycled, and relearned again, at different levels of awareness and ability. It is a study that requires constant reflection and internal transformation. For everything that externally challenges you, there is another humble reminder of reflection, requesting change from within. If you have ever had the privilege to be in an arena where classical mastery is practiced, there is a distinct and almost sacred feeling. The training practiced in these arenas is done with incredible grace and a soft elegance. There is a palpable calm, tranquil, and energetic oneness. The quietness with which they work is almost as astonishing as the gymnastic movements themselves. There is no yelling, whipping, or heavy exertion through adrenalin. There is power, but it lives in the seat of relaxation. It is truly a moving meditation between the horses and riders, on the ground or in the saddle. Build your indoor arena like a cathedral. Nuno Oliveira said to Bettina Drummond... his art was his song to god. - (Eclectic Horseman) When you truly practice the ART of the equestrian, you are in a meditative state. A state of presence, a state of awareness, a state of FEELING the present moment. Frustration, anger, determination, pushing for a goal, waiting for a result, is not the art. The student studies the theory, continuously learns and absorbs the knowledge, but the practice itself is a state of presence and oneness, that the artist does without the thinking "monkey mind" or striving ego. There is even a strong refrain in the classical world, by some masters, for competition. A lot for technical reasons, but also because competition in many ways is the antithesis of the art. Competition adds comparison, validation, timelines and agendas. All of these cannot live inside the principles of the art. In some ways, it would be like competing to see who is better at meditating. It defeats the entire purpose. Those who practice the ART are in it for the sole purpose of the craft itself, the connection to oneness, the beauty, the feeling, and teachings it offers. Interesting how something borne from a place of purpose and war, is found to be a hidden treasure of beauty, connection with-in, and oneness with all. Equestrian art, perhaps more than any other, is closely related to the wisdom of life. Alois Podhajsky: Chief of the Academy of Classical Horsemanship; Director of the Spanish Riding School from 1939-1965.
