Our riders are always working on improving balance…
on the horse and in life
.

At Eagle Feather we have seven sacred principles that guide our riding practice:

  • The Centaur

    The Centaur: a being that is half human, half horse. This teaching is about connection; a journey over time where horse and rider become one.

  • Time Well Spent

    This teaching is about the importance of horse and rider spending quality time together building their relationship, listening to each other. It’s not just about riding.

  • Teaching

    When you know something: teach it. We ALL have something to offer.

    Everyone has things they can teach and things they can learn.

  • Sacred Dance

    There is a rhythm to everything. Be on the ground in a meaningful way, moving from our hearts. Dance with your horse.

  • Sacred Play

    How do you see the world? Spending time with your horse is not about getting a job done. It’s about enjoying time together, in relationship.

  • Balance

    Horses are naturally balanced. How balanced are you? Riding bareback requires a great deal of balance. Horses make us want to be better people and find balance in our lives.

  • Sacred Touch

    Each time we get the opportunity to touch a horse, it is a sacred act. Our energy and intent send messages to a horse. Physical touch isn’t necessary for that to happen.

This Weeks Reflection Quote:

“Through attuned connection with ourselves, our bodies, and others, we find healing, regulation, and increased capacity for aliveness.”
