I really need a horse of my own, recently I've been riding my aunts horse, and just yesterday I rode her from my aunts back to my place. it was an hour walk on Josie (the horse, lol), i felt ok but she kind of pigrooted, i stayed on and calmed her down but she did get a little nervous about two more times while we were riding home. I really just want a horse of my own so i can finally be full of that boiling love you're talking about, instead of investing time in someone/thing that's not mine...

what a neat lady, and this is true! once i went to the barn i work at, and i was fustrated as i went to get Turrian for grooming because my mom had been constantly saying that i wasn't doing a good enough job with the stalls, and he got very nervous and tense when i got him and brought him for grooming, but as i calmed down, so did Turrian 8D

@PoorRichardSaunders The same can be said for parents who don't pay attention to the fact their children are picking up on/copying/being affected by their parents negative habits or behaviors (insecurity, anger, pessimism, etc). It's not always as obvious, until someone brings it to your attention. When you are having a bad day, you don't realize that you can change the bad day by simply changing your perspective of it. It's a case of "easier said than done", and encouraging reminders help.

It's so nice to see someone being affectionate and natural with their horses. I get so sick of seeing spoiled girls (especially teenagers or younger women who were given their horse) who treat their horses like they're vehicles. If you're going to be making commands all the time, then make the time to create and maintain a bond. Great video! This is true confidence and wonderful to see!
It is SO TRUE that horses pick up on your emotions. The other day I was really mad at my family and I went outside and I was all flustered and all four of my horses took off when I got near them and I had a really hard time catching Shadow and then he stepped on my foot and was distracted the whole time i was riding him because he picked up on MY bad mood.
