@Mike Thomas > IT IS GOOD TO SEE folks paying attention and conversing with you on Horsemanship. there are some shoppes that will waste a lot of Horses before peoples learn to change and advance themselves. Caveat Emptor dovetails our thoughts here. kenx
i understand the point. i just meant that if, in the middle of the exercise, the horse all of a sudden gained self awareness, it would realize that he'd been letting the guy on his back make him look like an asshole, and for god knows how long
well, if that's true, all these deadbeat horses better start paying their god damn taxes. as far as i'm concerned, they've been working off the books for long long
i suppose horses have some semblance of intelligence, but you'd have to be a real rube to let some guy coax you into spinning in circles for forty five seconds for no reason
