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.

Ride your horse with your whole body, not just with your arms and legs.
