Communicating with us human beings
can greatly transform horses.
They become sure of themselves and brave.
They come to feel good about themselves and their movements. They trust their own strength and the power of their bodies and they rejoice when we do that too.
In every situation they side with their person and trust his good intentions even if things are unpleasant.
Regardless of age, breed, or gender they develop their suppleness, fitness, and presence
-- because:
He who feels proud as a king will also carry himself like one.
