I spend most of my time with horses trying to help them to view work with me as easy. I strive to make it something that causes them no more bother than to be standing in the paddock on a warm day. That’s my goal and what I work on every moment.

The world runs on this type of thinking, so it should not be such a surprise to me that we do it when it comes to our horses.
