Yesterday I asked what is your horse.... an alchemist or a mirror. Perhaps that made you think... what are they?
My mare Skye was an alchemist. I could go to her after the worst emotional day ever, and we'd ride and I felt amazing afterwards. I used to call it a riding high. Horses innately alchemize energy for their person. That is why we have so many therapeutic riding schools. Horses are great healers.
My gelding Merlin is my mirror. Not to say I don't feel well when we ride, but he will show me if I am not showing up authentically. If I am feeling very upset or nervous about something in life, he will respond in like. Not that he doesn't trust me but he's more like.... "You feel weird, not yourself" and acts cautiously. I'll tell him that I am confident, but my body or energy doesn't feel that way to him. We ride.... we love each other but he shows me that I am being honest with myself or not.
Once you know and can determine what your horse is.... it elevates your partnership even more. :)
