I have a theory... probably just bull:) But i believe some horses need a firm hand and some need a gentle loving hand. I am not good at a firm hand. I feel like i just cant be mean. as a result, a horse needing a firm hand takes advantage of me and we have problems. A horse needing a gentle hand, who wants no trouble, who needs babying, seems like we get along. Like Tivar and Jaspar, if you were to manhandle them they would balk and fight you. But they sense I am not mean, that i wont hurt them, and they are ok with that. My stonewall is a big goofball who needs a firm hand. like someone said on here one time i think it was, think of it like you are a stranger in an airport in japan and you cant speak the language and you need HELP. You arent going to want the person who is grinning and being real friendly, you are gonna want the person who takes charge and acts strictly business. i think thats why we have trouble with some horses and some we dont. Like Jaspar and Tivar, they feel like the light at the end of every tunnel is always a train, very wary and suspicious, but they take charge of things, and I let them and they are good to me, take care of me. stonewall, i have to be very strict with, and Nasi too, or they walk all over me.
