Random thought, I'm doing too much.
So.
Bringing mine in I called.
She looked and didn't move- normal
In season nicker and last few steps she comes- normal.
I lead in she's directly behind- normal.
I didn't give anything a thought beyond the oh your in season.
How much thought did she have to what I did?
Horsemanship will have us believe that it's about 'showing them whose boss' or 'being the alpha' or 'moving their feet and not yours.
Did any of that even cross her mind. Is she secretly plotting because she's behind me. Or is she thinking the path is too narrow so there isn't anywhere else, or like me- nothing!
I'm not saying horses are thick, but I do wonder if they actually don't pay that much attention.
