I have been working with horses for quite a few years. In previous years I didn’t always do things the best way possible for the horse. I have since changed my ways about how I work with the horse, making it all about the horse and not the person. But in a way it is all about the person because it is the person who needs to change in order to work with their horse. The person is the one who needs to change, because the person needs to work with the horse where the horse is at.

So many times a person works with the horse where the person is at, because a person might not be capable or prepared to handle it if the horse wanted to “jump or run”. That may be what the horse needs to do to feel more comfortable at that moment. A person needs to be able to be there for the horse and be able to go with him when he needs to go. This is something that can take a person a long time to figure out, but it is something we work on constantly within ourselves.
