The best horsemanship ever is a 50/50 partnership and this is what we should strive for every second we are working around our horses. In a partnership each party does his or her bit for the benefit of the whole. You help each other out whenever necessary because you recognise the value of each other's input. In a genuine partnership, each party gives 100% and there is no resentment or exploitation between the two players. It's a relationship founded on respect and responsibility and each party must work to make the adjustments necessary to keep the partnership balance. As long as both parties are happy with the deal they get overall, the partnership will be productive and develop.
Horses have evolved to live in groups, and find it impossible to survive outside on their own. They are very sociable animals and put a large amount of emphasis on creating effective interactions with members of their group. It's important to them. They know the position of others. Anything that upsets the balance is addressed instantly by all members.
The big advantage of this is that horses therefore understand the concept of co-operation perfectly before even begin work with them. It isn't something they need to learn from us, rather something we need to understand and learn for ourselves. We have to learn how to live and work with horses the way other horses would.
