Wow, Renee, this actually says it all!!! Plus, be able to use your knowledge to know when to try another method or tactic. Probably the only "TRUE HORSEMAN" I have ever met so far (in person) has been Liz Graves. She gets inside the horse's head, and it is thanks to her that I try to get inside my horse's head. When she met Whisper last year, she told me Whisper would make me a better horseperson because of her personality. For a while, I thought Whisper was actually going to break me, but, with the clicker, we are once again riding as one! Liz is my hero, and I can only hope I can have as much knowledge and horsemanship as she has in her pinkie finger!
