Making The Invisible Visible
Herd Words 
We love it when the humans come us without a project in their minds. There is an openness in the space between us. We can breathe it in. When we can breathe, we relax. So we can share whatever is happening right now between us. Then it is okay for us to do something together, it might be fun.
Horses with opinions are not always celebrated. The humans in our lives are accustomed to us obeying their will, and the physical training work we do together is founded on it. One of the measures of successful training is the degree of our willingness to respond. Many great feats have been achieved by horses and humans and as a collective we have accepted it.
When we are encouraged to grow our natural long manes, we experience many benefits. We can evade the biting flies more easily and are better equipped to stay comfortable in all weathers.
