Re: [RC] affecting the horse - Dyane Smith----- Original Message ----- From: "Maryanne Stroud Gabbani" <msgabbani@xxxxxxx> Meanwhile, they count on me to be utterly fearless and calm ...... and I've learned that you can hide a lot of terror under the multiplication tables. I completely agree with Steph and Maryanne. My method has been to say to the horse, "look! look! What a lucky horse to see a bulldozer (bear, helocopter, mountain lion....) and so close!" So far, works every time, although Sun was a little sceptical about the cherry picker with the guy trimming the tops of trees. Also, I think that however afraid you are (because I have been), if you can control your own body, the horse really doesn't sense it. But...I think that circumstances can make them, like us, hyperalert and then it probably would matter.
