Peace can change suffering into happiness, troubles into new possibilities or friction into love. How to reach peace with a horse is a very simple question. In his new book, Horse of Peace, David Smet will answer that question. He will show you and your horse the way to peace, real change, happiness and love.

6. How to reach peace?
1.
Notice the state of mind the horse is in. Is it a horse of response,
obedience or peace?
2. Notice your own state of mind? Are you scared, reacting from an
experience that happened in the past? Are you the one in charge,
convinced that handling horses means being in control? Are you
aware, trusting, open?
3. Become aware of your breath. Inhale and exhale naturally.
4. Become aware of your body. Align it. You might feel things in your body
that can tell you something about the state of mind you are in.
5. Become fully aware of the moment, use the CONNECT-technique* to
do that.
6. Remove any gatekeepers with the DIVE or FLY-technique*.
7. Become aware of the action that you should take. Then act upon it!
8. Stay in full awareness, breathe naturally and keep your body aligned.
9. If you notice that issues pop up, use the DIVE or FLY-technique*.
10. Trust yourself and go with the flow.
* You will find details about these techniques in my book “Horse of Peace”
