When it gets right down to it, what I am talking about here is trust. Trusting our horses to do the right thing by us and doing the right thing by our horses. Of course, before our horses can really trust us, we must first prove to them that we can be fair in our decision-making. What better way is there to develop that fairness than to let our horse have his say from time to time? Not that we always have to go along with his idea, mind you. But, by the same token, he may not always be wrong, either.
