this is beautiful, I love how you're so soft with him in asking him to do new things. alot of people now a days pull them out of a pasture and jump on scaring the crap out of the horse. that's no way to do it, this is the correct way to start a horse. love it, fantastic job!!
A lot of times there isn't enough food for the horses and they die or neighboring people feed them, when the people feed them then they get dependent and won't look for food on their own. e this horse might have got dependent on humans for food or there wasn't enough food in his area.
The ranchers have the govt round them up - they have no choice as to staying wild. They are competition for the cattle and not wanted, you must remember it's all about the money. Neither is a native species cows or horses but the ranchers have the power.Currently 46,000 being kept in holding pens across the west.
It's definitely there. Terk is moving willingly and his ears are forward or turned towards Maddy. The connection is there but communicating with a horse is mostly body language.
