What If…
What if you could? Would you?
What if you were guaranteed? What then?
What if you knew you would fail? Would you persevere anyway?
These “What If “ questions are the beginnings of journeys.
At the Horses Know the Way Home Academy, we have structured a dialogue, laid out some tools and presented a different way of looking at your life’s journey.
Empower yourself toward the “What If’s” that matter.
The 13 Principles of the Academy content will help you to:
1. Move
Because an object in motion is easier to direct toward a goal than an object that is at rest or stuck.
2. Shift
Use your energy toward what matters.
3. Start
Start “momenting” your life. Create the momentum which will make the journey easier and more enjoyable as you move moment by moment by moment through your life.
4. Dance
Feel your song. Let it move you. Then, dance to the rhythm of the beat that moves you.
By utilizing the horse as the insightful window into the laws of nature, the HKTWH Academy will propel you into the laws and get you results, faster than you can imagine.
So, let’s Feel The Connection to those “What If’s”!
As I play with the word IF, feel the resonance of the word play and the truth of how it unfolds within you. Let these “What If’s” roll around in your head for a while:
What If…Imagination Focused…What will you focus on?
What If…Imagination Felt…What will you feel for?
What If…Imagination Found…and now what?
What If…Imagined Forward..Toward what?
What If…I Feel…What would you feel for?
What If…I’m Found…Found worthy, found deserving, found wanting for?
What If…I Focus…Toward
What If…I Forget…My self limiting thoughts?
What If…I Forgive…myself, others and all past regressions?
What If…I Feel…deserving of my heartfelt desires, for what matters to me?
How would you feel if you could …and you did?
How would you feel if you were guaranteed …and you didn’t?
How would you feel if you knew you would fail …yet you chose to play anyway rather than sit passively in the stands?
At the Horses Know The Way Home Academy, it all starts with you.
Feel the connection to what matters to you.
Feel the connection and move in the direction toward, and to the rhythm of, what moves you in all areas of your life.
In the presence of a horse, we feel the resonance of beauty, power and love. From there, we direct that already felt feeling toward the area that we want to move and grow and dance with. The horse being directly connected to nature offers us “universal truths” that are unfiltered by our egoic interpretations.
We can use our words to speak of such time tested principles as:
“To thine own self be true.”
“Live and let live.”
“To be or not to be.’
“The truth will set you free.”
“Live in the moment.”
“Be here, now.”
“I am that I am.”
“It is what it is.”
These, and many more spoken truths are only the reflection of what the words are pointing to: the horse is already living these truths.
We may have opinions about how the world is, but the horse is fact.
By mining horses facts and combining them with human wisdoms the HKTWH Academy exists to help you move toward.
Toward what you might ask?
To answer that let’s take a look at three natural traits of a horses existence:
One: They must move
A lame horse is a dead horse. A wild horse in that wild that cannot move becomes a meal for predators. They must always move because their lives depend on it.
Two: They move toward
In order to get a sufficient variety of nutrients and adequate amounts to eat, they will travel miles each day on a natural grazing and foraging instinct.
Three: They must connect
A horse all by itself has has only one thing in mind: join up with a herd. It could be a herd of one, two, three or more… the number does not matter as long as the horse is not alone. To horses, connection is a life or death question. A connection with a herd helps to ensure safety. This connection becomes life itself. A good connection, means life for the horse.
These three aspects of life; get moving, moving toward and connection are where it all begins for horses – and also for us!
When we are “stuck” we need to get moving. Once we are moving, we need to move toward what matters. In order to move toward what matters, we need to feel the connection to what moves us.
What moves you? How do you get you get your groove on?
What is your mojo?
What is that “thing that you do” that feels natural?
Because of the nature of the horse, when we interact with them, they demand that we constantly “be present” – that we are constantly “in the moment” and connected with them.
Once we are connected and focused, they immediately and simultaneously want us moving forward with them. They want to establish a clear objective. They will move with you toward that objective and they want clear and consistent communication during the process.
They want us to “be” and they want us to “becoming”!
What is your next natural becoming?
The explicit discovery and natural expression of your “becoming” is sole goal of the 13 principles in the Horses Know The Way Home Academy.
So, the next time you find yourself “stuck” or feeling lost, remember:

Loved the post! If they can do it so can we. I agree, let us move towards the what ifs and take action.
