[QUOTE="walkinhorseman, post: 962201, member: 51285"] "There's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse". - Pat Parelli. Mine are my partners. There are knotheads, but we don't keep those around. A man has to recognize that humans and equines process stimulate quite differently. We are predators. Our eyes face forward, we eat meat and smell like it, our response to threat is to engage. Horses are prey animals. Their brains are split and both halves have to be trained. Their fright flight instinct is their response to threats. Visually they don't perceive the world as we do. Gain their trust and they will carry you through thick and thin. Break their trust and you are on your own. Take the time to learn to think like a horse and communicate in their language. Trust and respect are the foundations of leadership. Relationships with horses are like any other. You get what you give. Many still subscribe to the old cowboy ways. Most bad horses are made and not born. [/QUOTE]
