What Alligators And Horses Have In Common

Recently our Mastery University Group was fortunate enough to spend the evening with an alligator expert from south Florida. Listed below are some of the parallels we've learned about horses and these amazing animals.

Things horse lovers can learn from Alligators

You can build a bond with any animal. Alligators can bond with people just like horses can bond, even though it takes time. And you need to know how to stay safe.
You can learn to reward with pressure, and well timed releases from pressure, and food, and if you time it right you can get amazing results. Just like with horses.
You can guide the animal's attention to safely direct movement by setting boundaries and repositioning the animal or yourself to communicate clearly.
You can learn to read every detail regarding emotion and energy output in order to make a judgment call on what's appropriate to do next.
With patience, there is nothing you can't do, even with the most extreme animals.
You can find exceptions to rules and beliefs and stigma in every animal. Don't give up on a horse, just because he or she is challenging.

Thanks to Ashley Laurence for thinking outside the box and bringing us closer to nature. Thanks to our Mastery group and university members for daring to dream big and take steps to live a passionate life.
