A year of thinking

I know, I know...It has been a long-ass time since I have been on this blog.
But. It has been a year of learning, modifying, and expanding.

Horses keep us on the upside all the time. I have finally realized that Trevor knows when my game is not up to snuff. He calls me out when I DO NOT ride well. It doesn't mean that he is always perfect...it means that he is more attune to my body then I am.

It does make sense. Horses have to be tuned into body language because that is how they communicate. We humans just don't realize HOW attune they are. I always say that a horse knows what you are thinking from 20 yards away...Well...maybe it's forty.

We need to be on our games to have a great ride. We need to listen more acutely to them when we ride. That is our problem. We don't listen well enough and then we get mad when they call us on it.

So, the next time your horse is an ass...re-think who is really being the ass...you might just learn something...
