How did the Carolyn Resnick thing go??? Did you like it? Did you see any difference? I only ask because I want to try it and was just wondering? I don't know anybody who has even tried it as of yet. Thanks, Janine
It does make a difference but it would take a long time to notice a huge change if you do a lot of undemanding time with your horses already. If you don't do a lot of undemanding time, your horse will notice a difference very quickly. I just had a more herd insight but some of her spiritual insights I don't agree with.
OK, very interesting. I might just try the waterhole rituals and see what happens. Thanks!!!
