Arha- means deserving in Sanskrit
I have the feeling that she specifically does not like ME, and I know for certain she does not respect me. She is a very bossy mare – she has kicked and split open my boyfriend’s poor horse’s buttocks more than once, and threatens to rear up at us on occasion. I knew NOTHING about horses, so I am a total newbie, and likely not the best person to own her. However, she apparently chose us, and I feel like perhaps i am just not understanding her.
I can’t tell if she is just bossy, doesn’t like women, doesn’t like people in general, or what, or whether she will ever be a horse we can ride and love. We had a “moment” some months ago, and I do love her, but she puts me off every time I try to interact with her. She doesn’t like to be brushed, which is unheard of!
On the other hand, she is incredibly observant, very curious, very smart (she can untie any knot I know how to make!), and not skittish at all. She is also fast, and agile, and a very pretty girl. Can we do anything for her? I don’t know whether to give up and try to find her a new owner who knows more about horses, or to continue working with her … there are days, frankly, that I just want to kick her, lol! And my trainer is helpful, but her idea of showing the horse who is boss sometimes involves smacking her (not horribly hard or anything), and I am feeling like I am somehow betraying Arha if I smack her, even if it is not hard. They keep telling me you have to be authoritative and show strength, etc., which I am fine with – I just don’t want to hit her. However, when she flatly refuses to lift a hoof so i can clean it, there are not a lot of options.
Arha said Arha could feel the shift in the energy all around when you began the healing session. Arha is not they touchy feely sort but this healing energy is having a calming effect on Arha from the inside out. Arha probably needs this every daily. Arha will use this healing energy everyday because of the amazing calming effects. Sometimes Arha feels a sense of what to do- who can Arha ask for help- Arha does realize not at the exact moment that fear motivates Arha’s forceful behavior. Arha feels if no one is in charge Arha will be. Arha would like the ability of letting go and knowing someone would be there to catch and manage Arha safely. Arha does really like everyone here at Arla’s new home. Arla thinks the rebooting of Arla’s thoughts-ideas- memories will clear the path for a more open exchange between Arha, Mom and Dad. Arha feels great being surrounded by Arha’s own guardian angel . This angel is making Arha feel loved and protected. This is a wonderful gift from Arha’s Mom.
