Thanks to “natural horsemanship” pioneers Tom and Bill Dorrance, Ray Hunt, and Buck Brannaman, horsemanship no longer means grooming, feeding and leading. Today, we hear about such things as “unity” and “harmony” between the horse and the rider. Now obsolete, thankfully, are such devices as tie-downs, twisted-wire snaffles, lunge lines, side reins, and mechanical hackamores. Instead, through education and an understanding of the horse’s mind, we can help the horse feel confident and secure in our environment. This is our responsibility to the horse. This new approach of working with the mind of the horse is a common-sense one. There’s nothing mystical about it.
