Do you think a horse and it's handler should be equal? Would still be interested to know how you'd deal with the scenarios I brought up a few posts back![/QUOTE
sometimes i say to a horse oh go on its fine, and sometimes a horse says to me, come on its fine.
i have one who will be a bit interfering in a head shaking way in the field, so i turn towards him and stamp my foot, to which he nearly has heart failure then dodges away, then a few moments later comes up quietly for a chat, and reading all this i thought what i was doing is just what a stallion or dominant mare might do, so his reaction is spot on, ie he understands
i might add he ran wild for 4 years on his own, except for goats, until 6 months ago
