Description
Horse behavior is best understood from the view that horses are prey animals with a well-developed fight-or-flight instinct. Their first response to a threat is to flee, although they are known to stand their ground and defend themselves or their offspring in cases where flight is untenable, such as when a foal would be threatened.
Nonetheless, because their physiology is also suited to a number of work- and entertainment-related tasks, humans domesticated horses thousands of years ago, and they have served humans ever since. Through selective breeding, some breeds of horses have been bred to be quite docile, particularly certain large draft horses. On the other hand, most light horse riding breeds were developed for speed, agility, alertness and endurance; building on natural qualities that extended from their wild ancestors.
The instincts of horses can be used to human advantage to create a bond between human and horse. These techniques vary, but are part of the art of horse training.

Love the light and depth of this image. The daisies up front really tell the story of the horse's heart...loyal and loving!

Tweeted to my 850+ followers and G1, I feel this does the MOST effective promotion. It puts the link on GOOGLE with a thumbnail, so people can click to visit your site. Do this frequently, but must limit typing so seldom leave comments. Wish we could just capture, and then paste them, would save a lot of work... :o(
