I want to emphasize that a horse is a brain on four legs. The brain determines everything a horse is doing or trying to do. The brain determines how a horse moves and how it feels about that movement.
It is almost unheard of that a horse has zero focus, but a lot of people are taught that a horse’s attention is either on or it’s off. There is a belief among some that a horse only has room for one thought in its head.
I am very pleased to see that nowadays more people are teaching the importance of taking their horse’s opinion into account during the training process.
A horse is a brain on four legs. A horse is not a body with four legs. If you want a horse to do anything you should have a conversation with the brain.
