[RC] Being the Herd Leader - Jonni

kat said: >>> However, what your horses MUST learn is not that you are the
herd leader (trust me, the herd leader doesn't give a shit if the other
horses in the herd squabble among themselves); what your horses must learn
is that you are NOT a part of the herd, you are a HUMAN, and consequently,
such horselike behaviour is totally unacceptable when you are around.<<<

I'm sorry, I guess because so many folks use the phrase "hear leader", it
was what I thought of first, to convey my point. I am not one to want my
horses to look at me as another horse. Never have been. I am in charge, I
call the shots. I'm the one with thumbs...and I want them to KNOW that.  And
that means, NO squabbling with each other in the pasture while I am near
enough to get hurt.
