Horse gates opened by horse - desensitizing cats and people's fear - Rick Gore Horsemanship

#thinklikeahorse #ItIsNeverTheHorsesFault http://www.thinklikeahorse.org/index.... Here I start talking about gates that should open inward and show a horse learning to open a gate and then move on to desensitizing a horse, allowing a horse to get into trouble so it can learn to deal with fear, I then find a couple of kittens and put them on a horse to show how the horse must accept things even if he is scared, unsure or nervous. I talk about a study that was done on rider's fear of being hit with a water hose and how the study proved that horses read a rider's fear and will become fearful if the rider is fearful.
