Yeah, I don't want to spend the money on that, or like the idea of injecting my body with toxins.

MashaAllah TabarakAllah, lucky you Sis!!

oh no, I came into this thread out of curiousity because in Aboriginal Australian culture "are you a horse person" means have you ever been a horse and are you likely to be one in future.

I have not been a horse yet, but the genetics of are being switched on in my mental processing when ever I get greedy after having been with a Man (WHO SAID HE WOULD MARRY ME THEN MARRIED TWO OTHER WOMEN ALREADY) who was once a horse. I don't mind taking horse. I have been listening to Indigenous American horse stories. Horses notable characteristic is BETRAYAL. (that man better stop accusing me of not taking him black! especially while he is with women who are not true believers)

now i am adding an edit:

I know a woman who had a horse that got angry with her and trod on her pet cockateil (that is a kind of mini parrot who lived on her shoulder)

hmph, HORSES! I don't know!

you are very welcome

it is always beneficial to know the behaviours of animals, those behaviours that animals can not prevent,

A horse tends to move itself towards any frightening sense, away from pain, but into the shock of

Upon Monday 14th August I was at the Brisbane show, (the Ekka, short for exhibition) that is a agricultural showcase. There were lots and lots of horses that were being shown for the skill of riders and trainers, and breed in horses. Lots and lots of different breeds, and I was observant that those horses that are most obedient are those with a more curved neck by stronger muscle development in the upper part of the neck. While the draught horses and also those horses used by the stockmen, are more like a racing horse with different style muslcular development. It is interesting that the most obedient horses for dressage etc, are not the most usefully breed for farmers to work with cattle from the backs of.

LOL!! Muscle mass has nothing to do with obedience!

Now this is interesting me. What is it that other persons know about horses. It must of course be that even though certain horses are breed to be obedient to dressage training, that other breeds are more readily obedient to other tasks. But added to that we can only assume that every horse is at all times more enabled in obedience from being well cared for with kindness by a strick trainer. What is your regard for what causes obedience in a horse? I knew a dog breeder who recommended that if a puppy will lie upon its back in the palm of your hand, it will let itself be more readily trained. Are there similar signs in the disposition of horses?

Disposition can first be seen practically from birth. For example, my aunt and I knew my horse was going to be good from an early age. She was the only foal out of 6 who would come up to people during feeding time and was fine being away from her mother. What you described about puppies is called submissive behavior. For most animals, obedience comes once dominance by the human is established. Some animals are naturally submissive to humans, but very few are. Also, breeding plays a large part. My aunt breeds certain mares for their disposition as well as looks. For example, a horse my aunt used to own named Sherman had the best dispostion of any horse either of us have ever come in contact with- you could hold one hair on her main and she would follow and listen, and she would never hurt a fly. The one time my aunt bred Sherman, her filly had the exact same disposition as her mother.

Horses seem to have a state of being in which they so want to be dis-obedient, but are being breed for the instincts of obedience and so are obedient without wanting to be. All of dressage looks like an enormous display of that. The horses are so tense, but enjoying their obedience at the same time, as though they are enjoying despising their rider. But the stock horses seem a little different, but perhaps only because they need less direction from their riders.

what do horse people reckon, since I am my self, in truth rather a Kangaroo sort of person?

Have even really ever worked around horses? Your posts in this thread seem a little odd, no offense.
