very nice - the only thing that would make it better (in my eyes) is for the two of them to take a bow together ... not horse alone, which belies the whole idea of mutuality
@skinnybopbop ... mutuality doesn't mean doing the same thing, but rather that each individual is allowed to operate within it's own constraints of talent and limitations. This human after 7 hours in scant wet clothing in wintery 40 degree temperatures couldn't bend over if her life depended on it, else she would never have risen! :-) ~ Cynthia
Thank you so much @laswan5 for the beautiful comment. Actually this is what actualized dreams are made of right here on Earth. Following OUR Dreams ~ Cynthia and Blanco
How come people think dressage with a heavy bite is beautiful, when this horse, without sadle, without brid and in the middle of af beach, can do exactly the same?
I mean.. All this horse needs is a horn, and i could be a Angel and her Unicorn.. .__.
This is absolutely beautiful, the connection with horse and rider is incredible. I would just love to have the know how to be able to teach a horse to respond in this way. My horses have given me peace of mind and soul. Thank you for such a beautiful video.
@002Checkers Thank you for the beautiful comment.
Collaboration and connection isn't something we need to 'teach' the horse, but rather when we make ALL our interactions with him positive, encouraging and calm - like teaching a child to ride a bicycle - a beautiful relationship results. Moreover, in learning to relate in this way (thru positive reinforcement), the animals in our life teach us to be a better 'human' animal :-) ~ Cynthia Royal
I get a lot of "competitive" horse people being rude or thinking badly of me for letting my pony teach me how he thinks. And often have to deal with being thought badly of for riding bare back or experimenting without a bit/bridle.
I try not to let it get to me, but the few times it does, i watch this video and it reminds me that both me and my pony are far happier doing things our own way rather than the 'traditional' way. Thank you so much Cynthia and Blanco for being such an inspiration x
beautiful xxx i started riding when i was a child and then did not ride for years, started NHorsemanship when I was 47, when I too thought my time has passed ... i kept on believing and now i am having my chance and i know i am very very lucky. thank you for sharing a beautiful dvd xx
@salistorymaker ...thank you for sharing your story of returning to your childhood love of horses. It made my day and is an inspiration to others who may think their time has passed :-) ~ Cynthia Royal
@salistorymaker Thought...Is it better to know you are treating your pony according to your own code of ethics. Or is it better to have everyone agree with what you do?
It is my dream to someday learn the secrets of the Royal Methods and apply them to my own horses. It will be a while until I can afford my own horses and a place for them to stay, but someday.... someday...
Me to same as Rakettfua....ridden owned horses all my life til few years ago when I was diagnosed with rheumatoud arthritis :-( has surgery on my hand recently ...I want to get back in the saddle somehow I miss it so much.
This video made me cry too ...its beautiful beyond words and to see the interaction and Blenco doing it freely no whips spurs etc etc ....this is hirsemanship and love communication at its highest.
Some day I might be able to do the same thing. I have been ill for a very long time, but now I'm starting being around horses again. I've missed it so much.
Rakettfua - horses have the power to lead us to our true selves, full of inner and outter health, creative strength and joy. Keep this image in your heart and let it guide you.. Much love to you! ~ Cynthia Royal and LoTR Shadowfax star horse Blanco
@rakettfua - I work with special needs children who take riding lessons on specially trained therapy horses and ponies, and I believe that people with illness or other challenges would be wise to carefully consider the benefits of being with animals... animals ask for nothing and give so much. Best wishes and prayers to you.
@EquusInfinate my sympathy and support for whatever illness befell you. Please know horses can continue to inspire, motivate and fulfill you. Interacting with them on the ground in a non-mounted capacity is the most wonderful of opportunities for healing inside and out. I wish you many days ahead guided by their silent inspiration and support! ~ Cynthia
Definitely a dream to me. I would love to learn these horsemanship techniques. If I ever have my own horse again, I would seek to learn these ways. :)
I watched and smiled the whole way through, until the tears came... This is so beautiful and respectful! Bless you for letting this beautiful creature keep her dignity! THIS is how it should always be! I had a "pet horse" when I grew up, he was following me in the fields like a dog, my sister and I played tag around him, using his legs to turn corners faster, running underneath his belly. I know they are kind and gentle and they only wish for kindness and gentleness to be showed to them as well.
He is one of the calmest stallions that I have ever met. At Midwest Horse Fair 2008 he was amazing! I love how Cynthia rides him bareback and without a bridle!!! That is just amazing and beautiful!!!
I just saw this beautiful horse, Shadowfax, here in AZ with the ownner, Cynthia Royal. This horse is amazingly beautiful and was in the movie, Lord of the Rings. Cynthia trains them to ride without bridal and saddle and they have an upcoming clinic in AZ in Jan 09 to train this method! She is amazing!!
I have also ride horses without saddle or bridle, and I know how much work it is behind! First time my horse Niwyn was riden, she had me on her back - without bridle and saddle. She was wonderful, but now she is dead ;_; she just been four years old. She got cancer on her both eyes, and then blind ;_; I miss her, really much...
I was looking up animals of LOTR and came across this video. Absolutely beautiful. What a bond between horse and Cynthia. I enjoyed the background music. Tks
yeah i saw her do it live... the horse was like a puppy around her. They had an amazing relationship. this was the exercise you can practice with your horse for further trust/relationship. =]
Just pretty and pure love it so peaceful
