When I ask and you act like a prey animal
We have not found the Love.
When I try and am wrong and your trample my dignity
You are acting like a predator.
When I ask and you are confused & scared or defiant & angry
We have not found the Language.
When I zig and then zag and you maybe just zig
You aren't developing an independent seat.
When I ask and you are skeptical or think all your ideas are better
We have not found Leadership.
When I lack mental, emotional, and physical fitness
Because you aren't enabling me you aren't natural horsemanship.
When I ask and you can't maintain gait, hold direction, or watch where you are going
You aren't part of our harmonious partnership.
When I don't understand because you are vague,
We’ve missed the power of focus.
But when we accept as a simple fact that we do feel what we feel, yet we are a
partnership,
Than I can quit trying to convince you that ONLY you have to change,
And we can get about the SAVVY of Horse-Man-Ship,
And when that's clear, the answers can become obvious...
