It seems to me that by giving our horses half a chance to tell us what’s on their minds and genuinely listening to what they have to say, we can open the door to a whole new line of communication with them, one that perhaps wasn’t even there before. By doing so, we allow ourselves the opportunity to get all the options on the table . . . even the ones that our horses might be suggesting. This allows us to make a truly informed decision as to what course might be the correct one to take and limits the mistakes we might make in the long run.
