Re: [RC] Did I Understand You Correctly? - indiancp

ever seen a horse put into a trailer when he/she was either terrified of it or just determined that h*ll
no, i won't go"?  how about one who refuses to cross a stream and the rider is wearing spurs and carrying a crop?   some horses CAN be forced to do things they do not want to do.  not a pretty picture and it's certainly not good horsemanship in mho but it happens!  some horses will do things they don't want to simply because their rider wants them to and those are good horses but truely the best is when the rider and the horse both enjoy the job at hand.

p.s.  I am still somewhat surprised (although I suppose I shouldn't be) by the number of people who are sufficiently conceited about their own power that they think horses have no say in what they do.  Your horse is bigger, stronger, and faster than you are...he does exactly and only what he damned well pleases.  Horses only comply with our own requests because they are good natured (granted, they have been genetically selected for this).
I'm not sure what your saying here.  Your saying that horses have a choice to be ridden or not to be ridden by there size, strength & speed?
