My First Day

Ok, this is my first time writing a blog, so we'll see how this goes. Its been almost two weeks since my first session in the M&H 'course'. To me it has been more like an experience rather than a course. Eve though some time has passed since the first time I got my boots muddy in the horse ranch, I can still remember the crispness of the air (it has just rained the night before), the greenness of the trees in the hills, and the stampede of horses coming into the enclosure where we were to observe them. It took me some minutes to overcome the 'distraction' that the beauty of the horses had on me accomplishing the observation of communication between horses. Besides learning a great deal about how horses communicate through the position of their ears, movement of their tails, and body 'driving'. One of the horses came really close to the fence where we were all observing and curiously observed us in his majestic elegance. Another of the most vivid memories of that first day was the analogy of horses as patients, and when I was placed in a scenario of introducing myself to a 'patient' while another one wanted to take over the 'introduction'. To me, this was an analogy of trying to establish a relationship with a patient while another one in the room wanted to have all the attention. I am glad that I finally have the opportunity to participate in this experience and look forward to the more experiences to come.
