Three do, and performant’s of Making a Fantastic relationship with your horse
After several successful rehabilitation encounters with horses which had ‘people issues’, and seven decades of working with ‘airs over the reasons’ celebrity turned into behaviorist Anita Kush, I recognize that a big selection of issues from the individual — horse interaction could be tracked back to some little pair of unhelpful behaviors within their human anatomy.

Mistake: Expect obedience at all price (i.e. follow the headline “do not allow him get away with it”)
Can this rather: Appear at each interaction with your horse for a dialogue. E.g. you would
