Ok… I think I may have put the cart before the horse (no pun intended). So, I have once again borrowed from my Teacher’s blog to school the beginners on what exactly a trainer should know about Horses and Stallions.

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION… For these are the words of the Master Trainer & Breeder, Constant Truth:

“Many of you have asked that I explain what is a stallion/steed and its difference from the horses. The following should give you each an insightful clear understanding of the definition of a stallion and horse… 

We are all clear that there are 2 types of males we encounter as women today: DOG & PIG…

I also told you previously that I am convinced Michelle Obama was fortunate enough to encounter and snatch up the last “stallion,” as I am almost certain this breed is nearly extinct.

There was an era when men were men. They lived by their word and practiced a creed that gave foundation to their meager existence and meaning to their day to day obligation to live. A time when men where taught to be the head of the body; to be gentle without being passive; to be compassionate & tender without over-emotion {as women tend to be overwhelming with their emotions}; he was taught to be strong without bullying; how to earn a decent living by doing good works to provide the means for which he and his fold could sustain, survive and multiply in an ever changing environment. During these times when the men flock was flourishing, men would become husbands taking a wife to shelter, feed, clothe, love, and build with. Men would give half of themselves {including their worth} to their women and keep half for himself to ensure the home as well as all its necessities were tended to so his rule as head of his own would reign for his actions were evidence that he upheld his duty as MAN.

In those days the pride of a man was his home, wife, children and faith. What a man spoke, he did; what he could not express, he manifested in action; and when all else failed, the wit of his mind coupled with the skill of his hand as well as the gentleness of his heart earned him respect for he would walk with his head held high, eyes to the sky toward a better day. He would strive to progress against any odds and defeat any enemy that would bring his family harm. From his youth responsibility, obedience and discipline were daily exercises he learned that would carry him through until the end. 

It is from this old tale of men that the stallion analogy is born of. What you would have 5 horses to do, be it plowing the land by providing the means for you to get by, carrying your loads, wagon or child or even the pleasure of riding with/without a saddle, you would do or get from a stallion/steed. For it is true, that what one man could do in times past you must now enlist more males/horses to get it done, often enough if you want it done correctly you best do it yourself as the man-race is scarce.

Anyway, one look at a stallion and even at first glance the animal stands out from any other brute in the meadow; chiseled features, muscular physique and the size of his balls are first to catch the eye, then one must take note of the power defined in his hind legs, the coordination of his fore legs, the strength in his structure and the height of his frame. As one draws neigh attention is diverted to the small light of intelligence that dances in the beast’s eyes; that intelligence allows the stallion to incorporate/apply the man tendencies lost in the age we exist. These lovely creatures would do what a man once did: able to provide necessary provisions for the well being of his fold, plow three times the land that a simple horse would exhaust himself and the lot to complete. Like times of old the steed bows in the presence of a lady, carries her burdens as his own, he his content with her affections as she has touched and tended to him as she would her own, his loyalty bind him to nature and its true form. When times are rough, when weakness befalls thee and loneliness overcomes the inner depths of your heart it would be he to lean on. The Stallion would lift you up on high and carry you far; his zest for life compels you to ride him often & long together cultivating the land and multiplying the fold. The Stallion/Steed would check all the other horses and command respect from any other animal inhibiting the barn; he would rise with the rooster and chase the stars in the twilight if it must. 

Many of us take on more than one horse/male type to do what 1 MAN used to do. Now you need a few to pay the many bills, put food on the table, fix the leak or patch a hole, even for sex as 1 no longer pleases the growing desires of our need and want. A STALLION AS MAN ONCE COULD, CAN ACCOMPLISH ALL OF THESE AND MORE.

I trust you each fare well with these honest insights and analogies as I hope you put it to good use.

Be well until next time…”
