[QUOTE="Horse Guy, post: 367282, member: 5753"] Horses are like computers-They might not do what you want them to do but they do what you tell, teach or program them to do. It doesnt really matter all that much where the horse is if the horse is being respectul. Example you can halter break your horse to be a foot behind you and slightly to the side of you or you can train him to stay two feet behind you. I know I have my own idea where I want that horse to be at all times and I stick with it but if somebody wants their horse to stay in a different position it wouldnt be right or wrong just different. Just make sure the horse always stays in that position that you prefer. If you spend time at a race track or at an eventing stable you will see grooms and other handlers handling horses who dont really know what they are doing. Combine this with hot blooded-spirited horses and you get horses that will run through or walk right over you. Its all about respect but its not as simple as just putting fear into the horse or taking the spirit out of the horse. This is the last thing I would want to do to one of my horses. But just because a horse is hot sure doesnt mean that im going to put up with him acting like a dink on a lead rope. But you have to remember that these horses that have no respect for people on the ground and who walk all over there handlers. Well basically they have been trained to do that. If you get a copy of the video I described above you will see them working with different horses. But the one horse that Brannaman is working with is a spoiled "broke" horse. It sure wasnt no easy horse to be around or work with. [/QUOTE]
