The rider needs to recognize the horse’s need for self-preservation in mind, body, and the third factor spirit…….he needs to realize how the person’s approach can assure the horse that he can have his self-preservation and still respond to what the person is asking him to do.

Feel the whole Horse: When I observe people and horses, it often seems to me that when the horse is trying to avoid something, or maybe is not doing what the rider asks of him, it is because the horse’s sense of self preservation is immediately taking effect. This may seem as though the horse does not want to cooperate. But the rider needs to recognize the whole horse; the horse has basic need for self preservation.
