I put bold on the statement below. How many of you out there feel that your horse would run off a cliff if thats what he thought you wanted? I have one horse who is my absolute best friend. She is a big beautiful black mare with a mind of her own but she does what I ask. However in certain situations she will take charge. When she does this I get a weird "vibe" ( i don't know how to explain it) and I feel like I should let her do her thing. Listening to her when i get this feeling has  ( I believe) saved my life a few times. But a point I should make is that I can tell the difference between her being stubborn and her thinking going a certain way or down a certain trail is a bad idea and could end in disaster.
