Did the horse pin its ears more, spook more, and maybe start nipping or kicking out? . Seen a horse in a stall turn their quarters and then stand with their head in a corner as a human enters the stall? . Tried to teach your horse something and both of you ended up frazzled?

ON THE OTHER HAND ... … HAVE YOU EVER: . Had a great ride and wondered what was so different that day? Why was your horse so good? . Seen someone with a horse that seemed relaxed yet alert and responsive? Did you think that horse must be really special, or that person is really lucky?
