[QUOTE="flaboy?, post: 375039, member: 5749"] Carlos, A horse can smell/feel fear. They sense it and it will increase theirs and thereby increase their jumpiness. A horse can tell when a confident rider is on their back and it has a calming effect on them knowing they have someone in charge up top. I have to admit in front of God and everybody that when I stepped back into the saddle after a 20 year absence I was a little timid as the horses were testing me. Stepping up on youngsters, green broke or not broke at all probably wasn't the smartest thing in my advanced years but it has worked out. When I realized that I could still ride and showed my horses that confidence the incidences of bad behavior subsided immensely. As I exhibited that confidence the horses picked it up and gained confidence in me as the leader. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
