  About Four Legs

"When we live as a centaur, we join another soul, We navigate time as one, and we connect on a saddle"

I remember the first time I was on top of a horse, at that time I had no idea what a difference it would make in my life, it was momentary, I just got on top of it and quickly descended, until I was 20 years old, where I really could knowing what it meant to be above another life, to work as one in search of something, as if our movements were one, as if I felt what he felt.

I've never been a good rider, not in the way I see it, but I've always known how to appreciate the connection a rider and a horse can have during their time together, I've seen many experiences during this short period of time, especially from my friends, many with a great connection with the horse, always evolving their own mount and person, as well as waiting for the evolution of their horse to reach their goals together.

A great friend of mine who showed me the flame that existed in my heart about horses, and helped me a lot to know what my passion was, and how much I loved that, this man told me many things, one of the lines that most got me was: "A horse knows everything about you when you ride him".

And this is the purest truth, horses are animals that seek their survival, social animals that were at all times under danger, and to survive they depended on each other, and it would not be different for horses and humans, a horse wants to know who you are, what your plan is for him, and what your intention is to grow with him.

That's why there is nothing more beautiful in my opinion than a good relationship between a human and a horse, or as they call it, a Horsemanship, when a human puts himself on a horse, and they connect their movements as one.

It is common to see other animals and their movement characteristics, such as a trot or gallop, the German Shepherd for example and its trotted gait, but this becomes different with horses and their use by humans, because it is with horses where humans almost becomes a four-legged animal, because the rider can feel the horse's movements, and how the horse's every movement affects you, and how your every movement affects the horse in the same way.

It is enough to experience the grandiose power of horse riding as it proves itself in the connection between man and horse, to know how much the uses of horse riding are present in the most beautiful harmony, how the so-called vocal and body aids become the most beautiful poetry between the power of two souls.

"The Harmony of friendship, of hoof and boot, of your heart's call, and of relieving what troubles you"

Special Thanks:

This was just my personal account of everything I find most beautiful in the connection of a man and an animal, how both can work together in trust and harmony, I thank all the people in my life who could show me how much beautiful the grace of the centaur, a hug to my dear friends and to my greatest mentor in the world of horses.
