he basically said the same thing as you. But me, not being familiar with horses, has forever looked at them as just big dumb animals........I know, that's unfair.
The thing about horses is,you have to win their trust.Horses that don’t trust people remain withdrawn from human contact by choice.At that point they might seem dumb to a person who doesn’t understand how they think.
Once a horse trusts you completely they open up to you.They want to be around you,they want your leadership,and they want to learn.I wish you could meet my Missouri Fox Trotter.He’s the good will ambassador for the barn-a 4 year old child could ride him-no danger.
