Good Horsemanship - Ross Jacobs

This is a discussion on using anthropomorphism as a tool in horse training and coaching. Anthropomorphism is assigning human trait and emotions to non-human things. In horse training, it can be very usual but it is sometimes taken too far. Horses and humans share a number characteristics, but thy don't share all their characteristics and it is important to take care when using anthropomorphic terms to describe a horse's response and motivations.
