Quick Tip #33-What Does A Horse Want?
A horse is not a person. People seek autonomy. Horses seek security.
If one adhere's to the false belief that "partnership" with the horse requires that the horse have the "freedom" to decide what it wants than one is substituting the human love of autonomy for the horse's actual need for security.
A horse deserves better than that.
Horses feel secure when they are given unlimited amounts of affection and are controlled as much as the situation requires.
