About Wisdom Horse Coaching WHC completes successful workshop for health group Equine Inspired Tip Interpretation or observation? During a workshop recently we asked our participants to look at a horse and tell us what they observed without interpretation. (See “Wisdom Horse Coaching completes successful workshop for health group” article at the bottom of this column.) When Buster yawned, one person said, “The horse is tired.” Another offered, “Buster is bored.” A third stated, “He’s lazy.” To observe without interpretation is to simply notice that the horse yawned. Buster was about 15 hands tall. Some people interpreted this to be big. However, Jack, his pal, is taller. Does that mean Buster is small? The participants began to notice how quickly and easily they make meaning out of what they observe before they take note of what simply is. They not only do this with the horses, but with each other. Great insights surfaced about how easy it is to regard personal interpretations about what we observe as “the truth,” and how quickly that can lead to miscommunication and misunderstanding. Interpretations are often heard by others as judgments and can inadvertently trigger defensiveness, shame or anger. It’s tough to communicate effectively when mired in interpretation. So make observing without interpretation a practice. It’s harder than you think. But when you can separate observation from interpretation, you can then say what you see and own the meaning you make of it. “Hey Joe. I notice you’ve been late twice this week.” Maybe he’s not the lazy, irresponsible bum you think he is. Maybe, if you ask, he’ll tell you what’s really going on. How quickly that can clear up misunderstanding—on both sides! Why is Horse Assisted Learning So Successful? EGE (Equine Guided Education) is an experiential learning process that sticks. Horses are non- judgmental, honest mirrors. Working with horses helps you become aware of confusion, anxieties and limiting beliefs that inhibit your ability to reach your goals. Exercises with the horses (all on the ground), and insights from human coaches will clarify your vision and give you words and actions to reach your goals. Visit our web site for more information...
