It is midday of day 2 here on Golden Bear Farm where I have decided to take a break in order to think and reflect. Day 1 and Day 2 brought a lot so far. Normally when I visit here, Lady is the horse that gets my attention. However, I have decided to take on a new horse to focus my attention and affection. The horse's name is Bo. Here are a few pictures I took while he was attacking me. He wasn't really attacking me; I'm just trying to see if you are paying attention.
I have learned a lot in the short period of time I have spent up here so far. There are many things to keep in mind when you are training a horse. In all actuality "training" a horse is nothing more than CREATING A RELATIONSHIP with a horse. In order to start a conversation with a horse a human takes time understanding horse psychology and horse language. I'll get into horse psychology another time if anyone is interested, but for now let me say that horse language is made up of 7 GAMES.
1. The Friendly Game 2. The Porcupine Game
3. The Driving Game 4. The Yo-Yo Game
5. The Circle Game 6. The Sideways Game
7. The Squeeze Game
These games are the games horses play with each other when they are out in the middle of a pasture grazing or in the wild on the open plains. If a human can understand the language and speak it back to a horse a LINE OF COMMUNICATION can be opened. Then, let the fun begin!
Random horse fact #1: Horses have BILATERAL VISION. For those of you who would like more details on bilateral vision send me a comment.
I hope you all enjoy reading this. More to come. I CAN'T STOP LEARNING!!
Yours truly,
