He is committed to bringing his fullness of self, of being, to the horse - with an equal desire and commitment to see the fullness of the horse , be with the fullness of the horse, in that very moment of being to being exchange and meeting.

This is my attraction to him as a 'horseman' - because it has nothing to do with 'training' - 'doing to', manipulating, forcing, expecting the horse to accept & respond to a pre-designed/ pre-made 'package' that the human offers, to get the horse to do something for him. Instead, there is an honouring of a fullness of meeting - being to being, uniqueness to uniqueness, and therefore a possibility of true understanding, true love, true freedom, an authentic moment of life.

So, the depth of the possibility of this 'meeting' and ensuing relationship, is what I think Klaus wants, and offers, because he feels secure enough in himself to 'risk' it - a full breath, body, feeling, thinking, spiritual energetic connection - and see what can unfold from there.

Horse 'trainers' that I have read about and met - and I love to read about many - often , I believe, have a fear of really bringing their fullness - as a man or woman - to the process. Either out of lack of experience, self or environmental support, or lack of interest in their own Self Awareness.

So, for example, there are many horse 'trainers' who have no idea about their feelings and how that impacts on their relationships with horses (and humans of course!). They just say 'anger' or 'fear' has no place in the horse - human relationship. But fostering the strength to risk bringing your fullness, and containing your fullness, means you have to at least know about yourself, and then, you have choice about what to offer.

Without awareness, there is no choice to channel, distract, breath into the feeling, to contain it and change it so it is acceptable, understandable, useful for your horse. It seems to me in reading Klaus' books & watching his you tubes and interviews with Petra, that Klaus is not only interested in developing his 'Self Awareness', but commited to bringing this to his encounters and relationships with his horses.

I imagine that risk, that awareness and commitment to himself first, followed by his intense desire to really 'see' and 'meet' the individual horse before him, is what fosters the magic of authentic understanding and relationship that he experiences with horses, and that horses experience with him. A commitment to himself, truth, love, freedom, and respect for all life.
