Horses, Life and Part X: The Universal Mess No One Escapes

If life came with a user guide, it would probably begin with something like: Welcome. At some point, everything will feel a bit rubbish. This is normal.

The documentary Stutz, created by Jonah Hill, explains this perfectly. Therapist Phil Stutz says life always contains what he calls Part X. Pain, uncertainty, effort. A rolling conveyor belt of challenges that arrive whether you feel ready or not.

And here is the uncomfortable truth. You can be the kindest, most patient, most generous person in your postcode and you will still get your fair share of Part X. Being lovely does not grant immunity from reality.

Once you stop fighting that idea and start accepting it, things get lighter. Not magical unicorn-light, but more like carrying a heavy backpack that finally has the straps adjusted properly.

Horses specialise in teaching this lesson. I meet people every week who are locked in a cycle of conflict with their horse. To them, the horse feels like one giant Part X in hooves. A hobby that was meant to bring joy suddenly becomes a source of stress, fear, guilt or frustration.

Often the problem is not the horse. It is the human resisting the discomfort required to help the horse learn.

Many people want their horse to behave like a wise old movie hero who can somehow sense they are kind and therefore stays calm, steady and compliant with no clear communication. They want their horse to understand them while they avoid understanding the horse.

This never works. People grip the reins tighter because it feels safer, not realising it is the very thing worrying the horse. They avoid using pressure clearly because they do not want to feel bossy, even though the horse actually needs clarity to learn. They want the outcome without going through the messy middle.

Their resistance becomes the horse’s stress. The horse reacts. The human reacts to the reaction. Both end up overwhelmed. It is like two people trying to dance while refusing to learn the steps.

The reality is simple. Conflict is normal. Discomfort is normal. Horses did not evolve to carry humans. They need guidance, repetition and clear communication before they can feel confident and safe with us. Learning to navigate the uncomfortable bits is part of the deal.

And this is the quiet gift horses give us. They treat everyone equally. They do not care about your personality, your job, your past or how good your intentions are. They will hand you Part X again and again until you grow the skills to meet life head on.

And even once you do, they still give you the hardest Part X of all. Goodbye.

And somehow, painfully and beautifully, you learn to survive that too.💔

HOW YOUR TRIGGERS REVEAL YOUR INNER WOUNDS
(A Buddhist perspective on healing and awareness)

Every reaction you have… every moment you feel overwhelmed, anxious, angry, or hurt… is not just a mood. It’s a message.
In Buddhism, we learn that nothing arises without a cause. Your triggers are not flaws — they are teachers pointing you toward the parts of yourself that still need compassion, understanding, and healing.

✨ If you get defensive when corrected
It often comes from past criticism that made you feel “not enough.”
Buddhism teaches Right View — to see clearly without ego. Healing begins when you learn to listen without taking every word as an attack on your worth.

✨ If you panic when people pull away
This rise of fear is the echo of old abandonment wounds.
The Buddha taught that attachment brings suffering. Healing doesn’t mean you stop caring — it means you stop believing that someone leaving means you are unlovable.

✨ If you hate being ignored
This comes from childhood neglect or feeling unseen.
In Buddhism, the practice of metta (loving-kindness) helps you give yourself the attention, respect, and love you never received.

✨ If you overreact to small mistakes
This is perfectionism rooted in shame.
The Dharma reminds us: Everything is impermanent. Mistakes are just passing clouds — not your identity. Be gentle with yourself.

✨ If you feel anxious when others are upset
You may have grown up walking on eggshells.
Buddhism teaches calm abiding — the ability to stay centered even when the environment is turbulent. Their emotions are theirs. Your peace belongs to you.

✨ If you fear saying “no”
This comes from people-pleasing and rejection trauma.
Boundaries are an act of compassion — both for yourself and others. Even the Buddha said “Protect your own mind first.”

✨ If you get jealous easily
These feelings arise from low self-worth and comparison wounds.
The Buddha taught that comparing yourself steals your joy. When you understand your own unique path, jealousy dissolves into gratitude.

✨ If you shut down in conflict
This often comes from unsafe environments where speaking up led to pain.
Healing requires relearning safety. Communication infused with mindfulness becomes a path to freedom, not fear.

✨ If you crave constant reassurance
This grows from insecurity and old betrayals.
In Buddhism, true security comes from within — through self-trust, inner stillness, and knowing your own heart.

---

Your triggers are not your enemies.
They are your guides.
They show you where your heart is still asking for healing.

Every time you pause, observe, and soften rather than react, you walk the Buddha’s path — a path of awareness, compassion, and liberation from old suffering.

Heal gently.
Grow patiently.
And remember: The mind can be your greatest prison or your greatest freedom — depending on how you train it.

🍃 This leaf is from one of my most favorite medicines in the whole world...the burdock plant (Arctium lappa).

🫚The root of burdock is the most medicinal part, and is known as a powerful anti-c@ncer. In fact, it's so powerful, it's used in almost every alternative cancer remedy around the world. This is due to its superior blood cleansing abilities.

🩸Burdock is known as a blood tonic. It moves stagnant lymph, helping to clear toxins from the blood, while promoting circulation to the skin. It aids liver function by helping the body eliminate toxins and waste products more effectively, and can increase bile production and flow, further assisting the liver's role in detoxification.

💪 Lastly, burdock contains inulin, a type of prebiotic fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, promoting a healthy gut microbiome and supporting digestion. A healthy gut is crucial for a strong immune system and effective waste elimination.

🍂Fall/early winter is the best time to harvest these roots when the life and energy has pulled back for the season. Once harvested, they are washed, dried and stored for future remedies. You can also eat the roots as a vegetable!

🌿 We use burdock in our DANDELION DETOX and our BURDOCK ELIXIR, both designed for detoxification. If you want to learn more about this amazing plant, how to identify it and how we use it, you can continue reading below https://healthprimitive.com/burdock-root-medicinal-benefits/

⚠️ SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
If you have prior health concerns or take medication, it's best to do your own research or speak to your doctor first. It's possible that burdock could have negative interactions with the medication. Pregnant and nursing women should avoid.

Stay Wild ✌️

The Anti-Regret Guide to Horses, Hormones and Hard Days ❤

There is something wonderfully ridiculous about wanting horses. You imagine partnership and beach gallops. Life gives you mud, rain, flies, wind that rearranges your face, repetition, setbacks, near-death moments and farriers who ghost you. Then your hormones crash the party. Your brain turns to cotton wool, your joints protest and your to-do list becomes a horror film.

So when someone says they are too overwhelmed to work with their horse, I get it. But here is what people forget. The most inspiring horsewomen are not the ones with tidy lives. They are the ones life tried to break. Women who lost loved ones and came back sharper. People who survived cancer or live with it daily and say it taught them how to live. People who crawled out of trauma, chronic disease and hardship and still decided life is worth fighting for. People who woke up after a heart attack and whispered, “I wish I had made different choices.”

They are not superhuman. They just stopped pretending time is infinite. If I am lucky, I have maybe a thousand weeks left with horses. A thousand weeks to be conscious. A thousand weeks to stop letting comfort make the decisions. A thousand weeks is not many.

This is why conscious living matters. Not floating. Planning. Conscious rest is saying, “I am wrecked today. I rest and return Thursday.” Collapse is what happens when you pretend you are fine. Conscious push is the same. Do not wait to feel motivated. Hormones have made motivation unreliable. Use the Mel Robbins five second rule. Five seconds between “I should” and “nah.” Stand up, boots on, walk to the paddock before your brain invents the excuse. Not glamorous. But it works.

You fix your life bit by bit. Not by adding more horses, more clinics or more fantasy goals. Reality is kinder. Look at your time. Look at your energy. Pick one horse. One goal. One impossible task. Do it. Then do the next and clear your chaos.

And now for the uncomfortable part. Check your screen time. If it is creeping toward three hours, you are not too busy. You are quietly donating your life to algorithms that do not care whether you touch your horse again. Meanwhile your horse is in the paddock desperately needing movement and leadership.

Horses do not need perfection. They need try. They need you showing up messy and determined. They need you choosing yourself in small but consistent ways.

No one is coming to save your schedule. You earn confidence. You earn strength. You earn your life with horses by choosing it deliberately. Rest when needed. Push when needed. Plan both. Fight for both. You will never feel ready. Energy comes from effort. Momentum comes from action.

Rise, you glorious creature. Bit by bit. Choice by choice. Boot by boot. Your weeks are limited, and your horse is waiting ❤.
