Seeking Bonds by bkerr

when i grow up i want to have a horse rescue farm. i would call it hoof prints.

i would use a special method of training called contact through feeling.

here is a story i picture my self doing when i am older:i walked out side to do my usual morning chores: giving the horses water and training them with a special method i call  contact through feeling.

after filling up all the paddock's water troughs i walked over to a little paddock that had a colt that i had just rescued in it.

i climbed the gate and went over to the colt.

in my mind i said to him: i love you and i will take care of you, if you love me, nuzzle my shoulder.

the colt reached out his muzzle and nuzzled my shoulder!

from that day on contact through feeling was the only method of training i ever used.
