Aries poops in a training session
Added 2023-01-20 11:19:40 +0000 UTCBecause of the enthusiastic comments on yesterdays video, I dug up another poop video from Aries. This happened a few weeks back, in a training session. He was quite reluctant to accept my leadership.
This moment is quite literally a "turning point": he turns and faces me which is a clear sign that he is willing to accept my leadership. This moment shifted our relationship from avoidance (running away) to what we call in horsemanship "join up". The horse finds comfort in my calm assertive leadership and decides to join with me rather than flight (move away) or fight (buck, rear and kick).
