Zooantropologica The Horse is not a new way of riding , a new trend or a new method, ' EZ is basically a mental attitude of cavalier .
Nell ' EZ the rider recognizes the horse as subject and not as an object.
Nell ' EZ horse and rider carry out first and foremost a dialogic relationship in which the horse is not considered a mere means that performs actions, but a key element in mutual growth the binomial.
So, first and primary goal of the zooantropologico applied to horse riding is the relational context.
L ' EZ has characteristics of contextuality and talk of a report situational type not static and frozen in time and space, but dynamics.
Knight zooantropologo is mainly dedicated to building a relationship strong, healthy and consolidated with the horse. Once the target relational zooantropologo the rider guides the way towards a knowledge-oriented learning, giving up mechanistic requirements, as well as riding the conventional mold of both "traditional" mold is so called "natural "we have become accustomed to seeing.
Nell ' EZ focus is not on the performance horse training , but the path of experiential learning and relational growth of the pair-horse person.
L ' EZ not based on stress-invasive, invasive stimulation on the responses from the horse, but sull'esperienzialità as a central starting point for developing a strong background and context of the representational relationship with the knight.
L ' EZ has strong characteristics of systemic and uniform, through which the rider is aware that each element is inextricably linked to the other like a spider web. So the horse is not as watertight compartments machine, which responds to mechanical stimulus-response, but as a complex entity dialogical interaction with the mo u .
Focal Points cognitive approach to learning are:
- the concept of experience as a tendency to acquire and interpret the stimuli in the world on the basis of internal fittings;
- the concept of representation, such as internal structure capable of activating sets of cognitive responses (process) or behavioral (expression) [Marchesini, 2005]
Knight zooantropologo pays attention enrichment Learning Experience , giving up the simple administration of stimuli, whereas the strong and developing cognitive characteristics intrinsic to the horse, focusing on development of the inner world of the animal.
L ' EZ is not an option for everyone, not a choice fast and shallow, and as advisers and trainers on this issue both as an individual horse. L ' EZ is a choice for a few , it lays down a long, slow journey into oneself.
The EZ I have proposed, can be approached, adopted, disseminated and practiced only by those who do not consider the horse as a means to achieve goals anthropocentric, only by those who have enabled a strong inner dialogue that puts into question their own strengths and needs that often exercise control over ourselves, others and the horse, Only those who have watched and overcome their fears and insecurities, only those who can get questioned daily, unstructured and developing a mind open to other suggestions.
L ' Riding Zooantropologica then as a lifestyle choice that involves awareness and inner strength from the man.
