The Mind Shapes Reality
Have you ever noticed how your horse seems to ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ณ๐น๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐? On days when youโre calm and confident, your horse responds with softness and willingness. But when youโre stressed, frustrated, or uncertain, they suddenly become tense, resistant, or unpredictable. This isnโt just a coincidenceโitโs a ๐ณ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฟ๐๐๐ต ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป.
In this blog, we explore the ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐บ and the ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐๐๐๐บ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, two powerful principles rooted in Hermetic philosophy, neuroscience, and equine behavior research. These laws remind us that ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต๐๐, ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ณ๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ-๐ต๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ. When we shift from force to energetic leadership, we create an ๐ฎ๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฐ, ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ instead of one based on control.
Your Mind Creates Your Reality (For You and Your Horse!)
The ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐บ, one of the Seven Hermetic Principles, states that everything begins in the mindโ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐. This concept is echoed in modern neuroscience, which shows that our brain is wired to reinforce what we already believe.
According to ๐๐ฟ. ๐๐ผ๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ, a neuroscientist and author of Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, when we ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ๐น๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ธ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต๐๐, ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ด๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น. If you believe your horse is difficult or resistant, your body language, tone, and energy will subtly reinforce that assumption, and ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐น๐.
But the exciting part? The brain is ๐ฃ๐๐ช๐ง๐ค๐ฅ๐ก๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐, meaning ๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐. This means that if you ๐๐จ๐จ๐ช๐ข๐ ๐ ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐ค๐ ๐ฉ๐ง๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐จ๐, your brain will start adapting to that belief, and ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ง๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช.
The Power of Assumption: What You Expect, You Create
The ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐๐๐๐บ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, popularized by ๐ก๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ, states that when you ๐ณ๐๐น๐น๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ in a certain outcome,๐๐ผ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐น๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ to align with that expectation. This means that if you assume ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ด๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฑ, your ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ will shift in a way that๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ฟ.
This is not just philosophyโitโs ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐พ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ผ๐น๐ผ๐ด๐. According to research published in ๐ผ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐ฃ๐๐ข๐๐ก ๐ฝ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐, horses are highly sensitive to human emotions and subconscious cues. Studies show that ๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ต๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐, reacting differently to calm vs. tense handlers.
Consider these two scenarios:
If you approach your horse ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ, your body tenses, your voice tightens, and your cues become sharp or impatient. Your horse ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ and responds with caution or avoidance.
If you approach your horse with ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ณ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ, ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฟ๐๐๐, your body language relaxes, your cues become clearer, and your ๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐โmaking them more likely to engage with you.
The key is to ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐๐น๐ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ผ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐ฒ๐ that supports the relationship you want to build.
But what happens when a horse has a history of trauma?
Many well-meaning owners keep their horse stuck in its past wounds by ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐น๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฟ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐บ๐ฎโboth in their words and in their energy. If you consistently treat your horse like a fragile, broken being, ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฟ๐ผ๐น๐ฒ, because thatโs the energy you are reinforcing. ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ปโ๐ ๐ฑ๐๐ฒ๐น๐น ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ the way humans do, but ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ we hold about them.
This isnโt about ignoring past hardshipsโitโs about ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ for your horse to step into. Instead of assuming your horse is still fearful, anxious, or reactive, begin to walk, talk, and interact with them as if they are already on the path to wholeness. This doesn't mean forcing them beyond their limits but ๐ต๐ผ๐น๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฟ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ ๐๐ผ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ.
If you expect a confident, trusting, and capable horse, you will ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐บ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฎ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐๐ต rather than reinforcing fear. The more you align your energy with who your horse is becoming instead of who they were, the๐ณ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น and step into that reality.
Horses donโt just need physical rehabilitation after traumaโthey need ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฐ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ that believes in their potential to heal. What you assume about your horse becomes the space they grow intoโmake sure youโre creating one filled with trust, confidence, and a future ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐.
How to Shift from Force to Flow
Many traditional training methods rely on dominance and control, assuming that the horse must be "put in their place" to comply. But horses are social, energetic beings who ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ป ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐, not fear. Instead of forcing behavior, we can guide them through ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฐ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ, a concept also emphasized in natural horsemanship methods like those taught by Mark Rashid and Warwick Schiller.
3 Ways to Shift Your Energy for a Stronger Connection
1. Regulate Your Emotions Before Interacting with Your Horse
According to ๐ฅ๐ค๐ก๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ก ๐ฉ๐๐๐ค๐ง๐ฎ, developed by ๐๐ฟ. ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฃ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐, mammals (including horses) co-regulate their nervous systems based on their ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐. If you enter the barn carrying stress, your horse will detect this and shift into a defensive state.
Try This:
Before stepping into the barn or arena, take a moment to check in with yourself:
Are you carrying stress from work or life?
Are you feeling frustrated, rushed, or impatient?
Are you open and present, or distracted and tense?
A simple breathwork technique to reset your nervous system:
Inhale for four counts, hold for four counts, exhale for six counts.
Repeat three times before approaching your horse.
๐ช๐ต๐ ๐๐ ๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ๐: This engages the ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฐ nervous system, signaling to your horse that you are ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐โleading them to respond in kind.
2. Set an Intention for Your Session
Rather than approaching your horse with a rigid agenda, set a ๐ฐ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ, ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป that aligns your energy with your goal.
Instead of saying, โI need my horse to listen today,โ try:
"Today, my goal is to build trust and softness with my horse."
"I am approaching this session with patience and presence."
"I assume that my horse and I are already in harmony, and I will act from that place."

According to a study published in ๐ ๐ค๐ช๐ง๐ฃ๐๐ก ๐ค๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐ง๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ค๐ง, positive reinforcement-based training (which incorporates expectation and intention) leads to ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป from horses than traditional punishment-based methods.
3. Use Visualization to Create the Connection You Want
Elite equestrians like ๐ช๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ฎ๐บ ๐๐ผ๐ -๐ฃ๐ถ๐๐ rely on ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป techniques to mentally rehearse their rides before even mounting their horse. As an Olympic eventer and ๐ข๐ช๐ก๐ฉ๐๐ฅ๐ก๐ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ง-๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐ง, Fox-Pitt has emphasized the importance of ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด for cross-country courses. Before even walking the course, he ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ each jump, feeling his horseโs responses, adjusting his position, and planning his ride in real-time. This technique is powerful because the ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฎ ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐น๐ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐, making mental rehearsal just as valuable as physical practice.
Try This Exercise:
Find a quiet space before working with your horse.
Close your eyes and picture the ideal connectionโwhat does it feel like
Imagine your horse moving with you in harmony, responding softly to your cues.
Feel the emotions of confidence, joy, and connection.
Hold onto that feeling and carry it into your session.
Why It Works:
A 2014 study in ๐๐ง๐ค๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐๐ง๐จ ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ช๐ข๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ช๐ง๐ค๐จ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ found that athletes who practiced mental imagery ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ as those physically performing the actionโimproving coordination and response times. This applies just as much to riding and groundwork!
How Iโve Used These Laws in My Own Journey
For the past 20 years, Iโve applied these very principles to every aspect of my work with horsesโfrom training in dressage to gentling wild mustangs and even rehabilitating mental and emotionally challenged horses.
Early in my career, I saw firsthand how my ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐ฒ๐, ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐น๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐น๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฎ ๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฒโ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ. When I approached a mustang with doubt or fear, they sensed it instantly, mirroring my hesitation with their own distrust. But when I shifted into a state of ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐บ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ณ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฟ๐๐๐, their reactions changedโdoors to communication and connection opened in ways that ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ๐ ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ. In dressage, Iโve used visualization techniques to refine movements before even stepping into the saddle, ensuring both my mind and body are aligned before asking the horse for precision. And in rehabilitation, Iโve witnessed horses labeled as โdangerousโ or โuntrainableโ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ when given the space to feel safe, understood, and energetically supported.
These experiences have proven to me time and again that ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต๐๐ ๐๐ฟ๐๐น๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐โnot just for ourselves, but for our horses as well.
Final Thoughts: Your Horse is Your Reflection
Your horse is ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐น๐ ๐บ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด the energy you bring. When you show up with trust, patience, and presence, your horse will begin to reflect that back to you. The more you embrace the idea that ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ, the more profound your bond will become.
