GET BETTER SHOW RESULTS BY IMPROVING ENERGETIC CONNECTION

Written by Carolyn Osborn, Energy Intuitive, Chiron Energy Medicine for People and Animals

One thing I have learned as a competing horse person and musician, is that there are many parallels between them. The only major difference is that my violin is made of wood and a horse is a living being with similar issues to us humans. They have emotions, good and bad days, physical issues, anxiety and stress, and trusting their rider. As a result, the best way to get you both on the same page is to first break down the individual issues that need to be addressed before putting you both together as a unified, in sync, team. Then your performance can flow so much better and be more effective!

Horses Feel Your Energy — Even What You May Not Be Noticing About Yourself

As I have discussed before, we are all energetic beings— made of energy, responding to energy, and the habit of holding onto energy that is not ours. Horses are very sensitive to energies of all types. I am sure you have noticed this with your horse on any given day. They pick up and respond to those energies before we are even aware of them. This makes them super sensitive to everything you are feeling, repressing or not aware of, and experiencing in your body and life. They know when you are upset, not feeling well, anxious, and even what you are thinking about. It is amazing how much information they pick up.

As a result, for you both to be in sync in a competition, you have to be clear and be in the moment, focused yet relaxed, and able to feel what your horse is feeling all at the same time.

How does one get to that place so you can be the best team possible?

Let Go of Unfocused Energy

If you are competing, you already have a team helping you both— trainer, vet, chiropractor, and others in your support team. To make the most of all that support, and to have it align, consider energetic support as well. One of the best ways to help your horse do its best is to clean up your energy and residual energetic baggage so your horse does not have to carry it: you’ll avoid confusing them with all that unfocused energy. They have their own energetic issues to deal with, but they are wired to help you in whatever way they can. Your horse, and all animals in your life, are like big mirrors or reflections of you. They do this to help bring whatever is bothering you (conscious or unconscious) to your awareness so that you can change that emotional or physical expression in yourself, which is what’s needed to ultimately allow your horse to let it go, too.

I remember many years ago riding a jumping lesson, and my horse was totally not himself. He was acting out a bit and being a bit difficult. It was not my best lesson to say the least. I was frustrated and a bit short tempered, but I wasn’t fully cognizant of that. It wasn’t until I got home later that I realized he had been picking up on some emotions I was not aware of yet, namely anger, impatience and insecurity. He knew before I did, and he was trying to release them with his behavior. That really helped me to realize how open and honest with myself I had to be with my emotions. Needless to say, my next ride was much better as I was more aware of my emotional state.

The Role of Mindset in Balancing Performance Energy

Another key component to becoming a successful competitor is your mindset. You may have heard this from your trainer, but the piece that is often forgotten is that your unconsious mindset is usually full of old limiting and self-sabotaging beliefs. Until they are released or neutralized, they will continue to run, undermining any effort to change them. This is a part of the energetic component that can be addressed in both you and your horse. They too can have beliefs that get in their way. How many of you feel you are not good enough, never win, always forget your test or course, there was the time you fell off, etc. These are just a few the beliefs and patterns we hold from our past experiences that can be shifted and released. It gives you a clean slate and the ability to do anything!

One of my favorite programs for energizing and aligning you and your horse is my Performance and Mindset Program. I focus on one or two sessions with you the rider to help with any old beliefs, patterns, fears, old memories that may be getting in the way of being your best when you ride into the show ring. Then we do a session on the horse to clear out any old memories, trauma, or beliefs they may be carrying. The last session is on both of you as a team to bring you together in sync emotionally and physically. It clears the energetic deck so you can focus on being the best team possible and capitalizing on all that you have trained for. It can be fun and easy without all the extra baggage.

One of my Dressage clients put it this way. “We were headed to Region 2 Championships, with a show the week prior with another loss of attention throughout our test. Carolyn worked with both of us separately, then together and the result was phenomenal! The moment we started our warm up he was ultra in-tune and perfectly on the aids [responding to cues}. There were no corrections to be made, we felt as if we were of one mind and one body. The true test was if he could maintain this attention in the show ring! With the judge’s comment of “Soft through top line allows for correct ground cover-

Well done!” He finally showed off his talents to win all three large classes under two separate judges over two days scoring 68% and 68.8%, his best scores to date for First level! Thank you so much Carolyn for bringing our energies in sync and creating positive energy for our partnership!!!”
