I'm having an equestering experience that's open to anyone
0:11
including non-writers, with Equus, and its co-founder Kelly Windorf. I arrive and have a short talk with Kelly and Scott about my goals for the session
0:22
which include trying to figure out how to include more time in my really hectic and busy life
0:30
How they organize themselves, like right even this moment, is going to be telling us a lot about your session
0:37
and what they want to share with you. Having been around horses most of my life
0:42
I already know that horses are great at reading people and your personal energy
0:46
They pick up on what you put out there into the world, whether you've realized you're doing it or not
0:52
A horse named Dante decides I'm interesting and checks me out. So Dante, this is Donate
1:00
Dante, and Dante coming up to you like this to say hello is very authentic
1:04
It's very deliberate. Whether I'm realizing it or not, the horses feel incredibly comfortable and safe with me
1:12
And one by one, they start to lay down. There goes another one
1:16
Maybe because I just went to the spa. They're feeling very zen
1:21
It's interesting, too, because Cassie won't often put herself with these guys because, you know, you're not coming out, sweet girl
1:28
No, no, no, no. I know, come on. She's going to... Darley's coming in to be with you
1:32
You can just kind of move into her. There you go. Hey, Heli shares that I can now go into the ring and do whatever I want
1:40
Normally, when I step into a paddock, I'm stepping in to ride. And since I not today and have no other purpose at this very moment than to be in the moment and explore this experience I do feel at ease We can take you back I can fit you in my New York apartment but you know
2:03
I decide to take a break, just as the other horses have, and sit down beside Blue
2:09
Blue seems to urge me to stop for a bit to enjoy life as it rushes by
2:16
you are just going to sleep with me here well so i want to point out that again it's not an arbitrary response
2:27
she when we started talking about being in the moment she went all the way down so how do i have more
2:39
balance in my life and that every moment of your day you don't have to divide it into work
2:45
pleasure, every moment is this moment, right? And to be, to give yourself that time all the time
2:55
Does that make sense of saying? It makes sense. And I'm not sure I can do it all the time yet
2:59
Right. But I think this was like a really good, interesting step. Absolutely. It's funny because it's not
3:05
all what I thought it would be. Right. Because I feel like I've done some things maybe similar to this before
3:10
but this was totally different. And actually, I really, really appreciate this. Right. No, really do
3:15
Yes. And even Cassie's laying down behind you too. While I do enjoy the every day, sometimes the moments mesh together and fly by in a blur
3:28
Sometimes, it's not until we take a moment to reflect that we truly see
3:33
I love these guys. They're so great. You have the greatest sources, really
