I knew that even if we didn't get her in the trailer right away, I just wanted her to feel safe near it. I encouraged her to investigate the trailer and when she would back up or spook, I moved with her and casually brought her closer to the trailer again. I wanted her to realize it was no big deal.

Schelli Whitehouse: Quantum Leap Principle #3: High Intention Low Attachment

High Intention - Low Attachment: a state in which we can readily overcome our attachment for things, circumstances, people, approval or concepts of the world and achieve a higher perspective.

Horses do not hold on to the ‘what ifs’ of any given experience. If a plastic bag blows across the pasture and sends them galloping and snorting in surprise for a minute or two, they don’t stand around making up stories about what could’ve happened if that plastic bag had been a mountain lion! After the curious ones check it out, everyone goes back to grazing. Back to a clear state of being present.
