I was just watching a vid on youtube of a girl (attempting) to longe her horse. In reply to a comment posted, she called her horse dull and lazy. From what I could see, he didn't look like that at all. He seemed like he was trying really hard to do what he thought she was asking him. But she was utterly failing at communicating with him, and just seemed to expect him to understand her verbal commands. He was confused, and it wasn't his fault that she was giving him mixed signals, yet she blames him for it. Christ it makes me angry when people don't make an effort to understand their animals. Riding and working with horses (or any animals) is a partnership. It goes both ways. You can't expect them to respect you if you don't respect them.
Arrrrrgh.
