When we think competitively, time becomes a big deal with our horse. When we think creatively, in terms of a relationship with our horse or development of our balance and our horse's balance, then time is just less of a factor. Taking the time it takes to gain authentic, healthy changes regarding coordination is what allows us to do more and more with our horse over time. Rushing to get tasks accomplished as soon as possible is what gets us stuck with horses for years! Our primary perception of horse training has a lot to do with how we view and use time, and whether we think of training as a competitive project or creative project.
