“Nur ein Klaps” – Positive Strafe im Pferdetraining

Strafen sind im Pferdetraining leider immer noch an der Tagesordnung. Ob es ein Klaps mit der Gerte oder ein Schlag mit der Hand ist, gerechtfertigt werden diese Handlungen meist mit dem [...]

Instagram post 2234897475366325335_3962622848 AUTHENTICITY | THE SELF • • Two posts back, I asked you all about your thoughts on authenticity and was amazed by your reactions. I simply love that we can all meet online and talk about such an basic topic of what it means to be human. The comments under this post are definitely worth reading 🙏. Thank you all for helping me sort my mind by sharing your views ❤. • • Now I want to share the outcome of this process with you. Again, I would love to read your thoughts on it 🤗. We will start with the SELF and who "I" actually is so that we have a starting point for defining authenticity and understanding what being inauthentic could mean. • • AUTHENTICITY | THE SELF • • We cannot know what is authentically "I", when we have no definition of what the self is. So this is where I want to start with my thoughts on authenticity. I understand the self as something that operates in its environment. It influences and changes its surrounding, consciously or unconsciously. At the same time, the self is influenced by its environment which can even have an effect on which genes are expressed and which are not. But also on a very basic level like being taught what is "right" and "wrong", what is accepted and what is not. • • Thus, one fundamental aspect of the self is, that it is not static but constantly changing. From moment to moment with all the emotions, thoughts and actions it experiences and the long-term changes that occur when the self finds a new position in regard to these experiences. This way, even experiences that are far away in the past can have an effect on the development of the self in the present. • • The self integrates and rejects experiences. I like to think about the range of integrated experiences as our comfortzone. In this sense, "I" are the thoughts, feelings and actions that the self has accepted as "part of me". When we act, feel and think within the range of our comfortzone, we feel 100% like "I". • • Do you agree with this definition of the Self? Do you disagree? Why? What would you add? • • ~ Anni
Instagram post 2231452211783859153_3962622848 Many hours of sitting in front of the computer, so I can dive deep into creation. Half an hour of yoga, so I can rebalance my inner world. Some work on Nathan's hooves, so that he can live in his body comfortably. Walking and running through the woods, so I can feel like a child again for some precious moments 🌲. • • This body does not have to look a certain way. It does not have to work perfectly. It does so much for me. Every day. I can live more than happily with these not so beautiful parts of it. • • So I take a moment to appreciate this human experience that I am able have every day ♡. Take a deep breath and thank my body for carrying me through life. • • What has your body done for you today? 🌱 • • ~Anni
Instagram post 2230771633598199650_3962622848 AUTHENTICITY • ° English below. ° • Heute habe ich über Authentizität nachgedacht, insbesondere darüber, was es bedeutet, unauthentisch zu sein. Doch ich konnte für mich keine wirkliche Definition finden. Ich glaube, Authentizität ist nicht nur relevant, wenn es um die Interaktion mit Pferden geht, die uns so gut lesen können, dass sie immer wissen, was echt ist und was nicht. Es erscheint mir außerdem besonders wichtig, wenn es darum geht, "zu sein, wer wir sind" - aber wer ist, "wer ich bin"? Woher wissen wir das? Wo ziehen wir die Grenze zwischen so tun als wäre man jemand oder etwas, der oder das wir nicht sind, und uns selbst die Chance zu geben zu wachsen, indem wir eine andere Handlung als für uns üblich wählen? In meinem Kopf scheint das, was authentisch und das, was es nicht mehr ist ganz verwaschen, deshalb frage ich dich: ° • Was bedeutet Authentizität für dich? Wann fühlst du dich, als würdest du dich unauthentisch verhalten? Ist es möglich, sich anders zu verhalten als gewöhnlich und immer noch authentisch zu sein? Ich würde mich freuen, von deinen Gedanken zu lesen und meinen Gedanken dadurch ein wenig Klarheit zu verschaffen 😌. ° • Today I was thinking about autheticity and especially what it means to be inauthentic, but I could not really come up with a definition. I think, authenticity is not only relevant when it comes to interacting with horses who are able to read us so well that they always notice what is real. It also seems to be highly relevant for "being who we are" - but who is "who I am"? How do we know? How do we draw the line between pretending to be something or someone we are not and giving our self the chance to grow by choosing a different action than we usually do? For me, all of this seems to be somewhat blurred right now, so I wanted to ask you: ° • What does authenticity mean to you? When do you thibk you behave inauthentic? Is it possible to act differently than usually and still be authentic? I would love to hear your thoughts and clear my thoughts about this topic 😌. • • ~ Anni
Instagram post 2230160605067632538_3962622848 👣 🕺🏼 KÖRPERGEFÜHL oder auch Propriozeption = Eigenwahrnehmung. Das war das Thema neulich mit einem unserer wunderbaren Kundenpferde. Der ausdrucksstarke Haflingerwallach ist mit seinen Ü20 Jahren und einigem an mentalen und körperlichen Gepäck zu uns - gemeinsam mit seiner liebevollen Besitzerin - in den Unterricht gekommen. Seitdem tüfteln wir mit den beiden vor allem daran, die unschönen Erinnerungen aus der Vergangenheit nach und nach aufzulösen und dabei all seine wunderschönen Seiten ans Licht zu bringen: Wie etwa seine Kreativität, seinen Mut und seine Beharrlichkeit 🌱. Was bei ihm ebenfalls sehr auffällt, ist sein eingeschränktes Körpergefühl. Noch bewegt er sich in einer eher unscheinbaren Art und Weise und er hält sich innerlich wie äußerlich sehr fest. Eine eingeschränkte Körperwahrnehmung geht oft einher mit verschiedenen emotionalen Folgen. Darunter Schüchternheit, übermäßige Ängstlichkeit, Zurückgezogenheit aber auch explosives und kopfloses Verhalten. In seinem Fall verstärken sich die Tendenz zum Festhalten/ mentalen Ausschalten und das schlechte Körperbewusstsein gegenseitig. Er fühlt sich nicht wohl in seinem Körper und ist daher generell noch skeptisch gegenüber Aufgaben, mit denen er schon einmal negatives verknüpft hat. Er kann sich noch nicht so gut auf seinen Köper verlassen und spiegelt das im Außen durch Zögern und Einfrieren. Er braucht dann viele Pausen zum Verarbeiten und zeigt, wie viel da unter der Oberfläche arbeitet. Wie wir ihn da raus begleiten konnten, seht ihr im Video (einmal wischen 👉🏻). Als wir seine Besitzerin ermutigt haben, einmal ganz frei und nach ihrem Gefühl zu entscheiden, was ihnen beiden jetzt gerade Freude machen würde, brachte sie einen Fußball auf den Platz. Und siehe da: Napoleon war völlig Feuer und Flamme, dass er mit dem Ball experimentieren durfte ☺️🔥. Er spielte ganz begeistert mit dem Ball, untersuchte ihn mit seinen Hufen und öffnete sich immer mehr innerhalb des Spiels, während wir ihn zu dritt begeistert lobten und anfeuerten. 🥳 Besonders interessant war dabei zu beobachten, wie er ganz nebenbei sein Körpergefühl trainierte. ↘️↘️↘️
Instagram post 2227913032441323618_3962622848 I don't know what you feel. I can't tell how "good" the reason is that you are feeling this way. I can only observe. I can hold space. I can be there for you, and be strong for you. For us both. ° • I can decide to not turn against you for feeling different than I do. I can decide to stay by your side when things get tough. I don't even need to turn against myself. It is just what I felt for a second - this "either you or me". ° • But it is always - us. ° • Feelings will flow through us. Unhindered. Free. And this way they will leave. As we won't stop them. Won't resist them. Just let them be. Free. ° • ~ Anni ~ • Just had to remind myself. Something, that seems so relevant for our relationships with horses, too - learning to value every inner experience, every memory, every emotion our loved ones carry with them.
Instagram post 2225529516843915046_3962622848 The INSPECTOR-GAME & ADVENTURE-WALKS • Some years ago we developed this game: We would pretend Nathan was Inspector Barnaby and we had to support him in investigating a case 🧐. Back then it gave us a powerful perspective on what we had interpreted as fear before. Nathan wasn't afraid. He was concentrated, awake and noticing every little change in his surroundings. That was not a bad thing that had to be prevented. It actually was a reasonable behavior for an inspector. Thus, it became clear for us what we had to do: Walking with him to all the interesting spots, keeping our eyes open, listening to the surroundings and finding out whether something needed further investigation or if we could go on. • • With this shift of perspective it became simple for us, not to stand in Nathan's way and keep him from fulfilling his needs. Instead, we were there to help him do this in the best possible way. • • This was also what we did the other day: There were some children playing behind a hedge so that you could only see them move every now and then and hear them scream 🤾‍♂️. This is one of the rare occasions that Nathan is "afraid" of a certain "object" (he never has a problem with man-made machines - I am always wondering whether he knows that neither motorbikes nor trucks nor trains could eat him but children... 😈🤭). • • When Nathan gets into a situation like this, he looks almost like an arabian horse: Head up in the sky, huge nostrils and staring at the object of interest. I guess, he could do this for hours, being pulled between going closer and getting some more distance in between 🤭. Actually, when I do not think about this as "being afraid" anymore, I notice how much curiosity and interest he displays with his behavior. • • Whereas the usual reaction in a situation with a tensed horse is to leave it behind as fast as possible, this day I was immediately reminded of the possible challenge this would be for us and a great occasion to wipe the dust off our Inspector-Game. • • Continued in comments ⤵️
