What I know Horses have better memories of humans, how to think like us, and often people make mistakes because they think so.

Horses are game animals. Most of the natural reactions are suicide unless he is comfortable with the situation he faces. worried, he becomes nervous and ready to run away.

He has a strong herd instinct; he is happy and feels safest to be with other horses. Horses and humans can develop strong bonds of loyalty - their need for safety and comfort in the people they trust. Horses feel most comfortable when humans they like like dominant swarms (horse bosses) without being overly aggressive or alive.

As a living animal in a group, horses can be old or ruled. Instinctively he fits a more dominant individual, so this is the role the horse must take when handling horses. Extreme ways in horse racing are forced and bribery.

Coercion can make aggressive horses become angry, always fighters, or coward horses become increasingly afraid. Steam will quickly damage the horse; he soon learns that he (not you) is in control. The most effective method of interconnection is between the two, with the horseman taking on a strict leadership role in harmony with the peculiar abilities and horse traits.
