Status Updates From Think Harmony With Horses: ...

You look where you are going so that the horse knows where he's going. Let him know ahead of time where you're going. See if you can pick a place out there for his feet, and that's where you want him to go.
It's like driving a car. You're not driving right over the radiator cap; you're looking out there a ways so the horse knows where to go. He learns to stay with you.

It may take quite a lot of effort on the part of the riders to train themselves always to gain the horse's attention before trying to direct the horse. Many common problems in man's relationship with the horse have their roots in the unawareness of the importance of this concept.

For me, the horse doesn't have to do my thing my way, but I do want him to do my thing his way and like it.
