A new poem by Joanne Verikios, inspired by a horse called خليل

When We Are. A poem by Joanne Verikios, inspired by a horse called خليل

When We Are
By Joanne Verikios
inspired by a horse called خليل


When your
vibration
finds the rhythm
of our vibration,
it is because you
allow yourself to be love,
to respond as love,
to send love.
When you trust, we trust,
trust is all and all is love.
Then, in the glory of
all nature,
we make one song,
one verse, the universe.
You, we, are the universe.
We are. We. Are. We are.

2020 Horse Calendar Gift For You To Download

20/12/2019

 
Winning Horsemanship 2020 Calendar Gift
Click the picture to download the Winning Horsemanship 2020 Calendar

This time of the year means many things to different people.

In addition to the usual end of year celebrations and traditions, I like to think of December-January as a time for reflection and planning. This is especially appropriate as we move into the second decade of this century. With the added twist of 2020 often being used to describe excellent vision, it's the perfect time to revise your dreams, plans and goals.

So, to inspire and crystallise your 2020 vision, I have created a downloadable calendar for the New Year. It's also a token of my appreciation for you being part of my wonderful online circle. Thank you!

The 2020 calendar features an iconic image of someone riding their horse along a beautiful beach, with their mirror image reflected in the wet sand. It could be at sunrise or sunset - both times of renewal and spiritual significance - combining dreams, intention and action. On the second page there is room for you to write down your top priorities. These are the things you want to get really clear on; the things you really want to manifest.

If you print your calendar on both sides of an A4 sheet of paper, write out your plans and then laminate the page, your intentions for the year ahead will be sealed and it will last well. Alternatively, you could pin or paste both pages on your dream board, along with some other images.

Need some ideas? Check out this article for some great ideas for transforming your New Year and your life!

Your 2020 New Year calendar is ready for immediate download here (or click on the picture above).

Please feel free to share on social media and with your friends, colleagues and students.

My very best wishes to you, your loved ones and your beloved horses for a merry Christmas and happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

Horses and Emergencies - How to Survive Fires, Floods & Other Disasters

9/10/2019

 
The original version of this article by Joanne Verikios was published in Equestrian Country Magazine, Issue 7, Winter 2019
as "How To Prepare Your Horse For An Emergency".

My Country by Dorothea Mackellar is a stirring poem that shows an awed but philosophical acceptance of the beauty and terror of nature. As I write this, parts of Dorothea's country - my country - are again being wracked by floods, starved by drought and destroyed by bushfires. Australia has cyclones too; other parts of the world have tornadoes, typhoons and hurricanes. And then there are earthquakes, mudslides and avalanches.

In addition to what nature throws at us, we sometimes have to deal with disasters that result from human error, or crimes such as arson.

So my question for you is, how ready are you and your horse for an emergency?
  • Could you rescue your horse from a burning stable?
  • Do you know what to do in the event of a bushfire or wildfire?
  • What is your flood emergency plan?

This article sets out some simple skills and tactics that could save your horse's life... and your own.

    Hi! I'm Joanne Verikios. I've spent a lifetime studying horses and I'm happy to say I'm still learning.

    From a very early age I have been able to tune in to what horses and ponies were thinking and what they were likely to do next.

    Sharing my understanding of their ways and needs with other horse lovers is my way of giving back for every neigh, whinny, nuzzle and exhilarating ride.

    I write for people like me - mad about horses, passionate about becoming better owners/riders/trainers/breeders and keen to learn as much as they possibly can.
