I recently got to thinking about all the negative that surrounds us everyday.  This I believe is a human trait.   Horses are not negative unless their encounters with the human have made them that way.  We get picked at to be perfect, time deadlines for this and that, service of any sort is suppose to be right now if not sooner.   None of that makes any sense to the horse.  If you look at the world in a real sense, the beauty of your surrounding is not made in a flash, it takes time.   Relieve the stress by looking for the good in everything.    This relates to your relations with horses more than you know.  Horses just want to be peaceful, calm and comfortable.  Sounds really good to me too!  I remembered something I have heard from Ray Hunt and Buck Brannaman.  When you are working with a horse, on the ground or in the saddle, just ignore the stuff you don’t want and reward the stuff you do want.  With time that other stuff disappears or is something you will want later.    Look for the good in your horse and those around you.  We are all at different places in our horsemanship. Encouragement of the good and seeing the good, just makes it all better.
