Sensitivity

In the era of equine advancement, there is still an unanswered question. Ranchers, cutters, jockeys, polo players, light cart drivers, mule skinners, Olympic hopefuls and Amish, not to exclude EVERYONE that owns a horse, wants to know.....How much can my horse feel? By feel, I mean, long distance eye pressure, anxiety, mood, temperament, barometer, and excitement. I have seen riders get on their horse, ride out for the days work, the entire day making statements such as, "He won't work, He just doesn't wanna go", and then apply spur to get through the day. At lunch, I would stick a finger under his lip, confirm my thoughts for earlier in the morning, he was feverish. All the while the rider being clueless. I've arrived at a clients stable, upon removing the old set of shoes, to find a rock embedded in the apex of the frog, having been there days, maybe weeks. Again, clueless! We as humans, have proven to each other and our horses, we are aware of very little. Our energy field is small, when compared to the pastures of the common horse. They know what they can get away with, with a green rider, they know that later on in the day, it's gonna snow. As an exercise, the next time you lunge your horse, at the trot intently focus on his inside eye, the following two laps, focus intently on the tip of his tail. See if you are aware of any change.
