Most people who have horses would like to develop a quality relationship with their horse, but only achieve mediocrity, often accepting this as a good result. Why, because they put there efforts into becoming experts at riding or showmanship when they really need to be focusing on becoming horseman. First you need to develop a base a starting point you can build on, a base involving both the horse and you, developing a life long partnership.

It's essential that you not leave any of the six out if you're to realize the end result, a lifetime partnership with your horse that is safe, enjoyable and rewarding.
1. Understanding
You need to understand your horse. To do that you have to understand how horses think.

Your attitude= How you communicate. Being assertive vs. aggressive and being evenhanded. Your mind-set (attitude) affects the mind-set (attitude) of your horse.
3. Approach
Helping your horse to understand what it is you want him to do.

5. Creativeness
Creating challenges for you and your horse. Learning what the two of you can accomplish together. Why settle for mediocrity?
