And the more energy you control and soften energy and bring up energy when you want things and cool off energy when you don't, horses react really well to that.

Anything that you feel, she feels it.

So what you have to do is learn how to control those feelings

in respect to the horse so then this horse can communicate with you and they'll know where you are.

Like if I come in here and I'm in bad humour, they know.

If I come in here and I'm fed up, they know.

Like this morning I was up here and I was busy doing something and little Sundancer, she wouldn't leave me at all.

She followed me all the way down to the house along the ditch.

And I kept rubbing her and said, go on Sundancer, go back to your sisters.

And she wouldn't go.

There was a little thing there because I was a bit pissed off.

So she knew, so she stayed with me.

And that's the way they are.

They're very personable.

So Michael, we've met some of the horses.

What have you planned for me?

Well, I'm just going to introduce you to a nice, gentle little girl up in the round pen.

And I'm going to explain a little bit about horse psychology, not the horses.

Just what I've been talking about here.

How you communicate with horses gently and softly.
