What I've learned from my horse

I've always found it hard to describe someone, even myself even thou I know myself inside out. But I finally found a way to describe my horse, he got a strong integrity and he always got a fox behind his ear. If he think you're trying to take his dignity away he will do everything he can to get you emotional and take over the leadership, since you dont deserve to be his leader and you cant be if you cant control your emotions. But, when you've got his trust and respect he will try to do everything for you. He's one of those horses with very high demands on you as a leader, I've learned so much from him and we've only been playing together for two years. Horses really are the best teachers, I've been forced to take control of my emotions, to stay calm in all situations so I can be a strong safe friend to hold hands with when it gets scary, to be creative and use my imagination so he can use his brain and we can build our language and to reward the smallest step to get to the big goals.
