Your Horse Can Read Your Thoughts

Well that’s not exactly right. Your horse can’t read your thoughts but he can and does read the energy in your thoughts.
It goes like this. Each and every thought you have carries emotional energy with it. This energy begins at your subconscious level. As your sub conscious mind has a feeling, thought or sense emotional energy is already attaching itself to it.
It it this energy that communicates with your horse. Before you ever even think of giving a physical or verbal command your horse is already responding to this sub conscious energy.
Think of it like water that is beginning to boil for your cup of coffee. The water is hot long before you actually hear or see it begin to boil. So if you try to touch the water, you can still get burned. ( I know, not such a great example, but it was the only thing I could think of at the moment.)
Your training for the show pen begins in your sub conscious mind first!
If you want your western pleasure horse to move slowly and correctly then your subconscious mind needs to do the work before your body gets in the picture.
