It ought to be said that there is something good for the soul of the horseman in training his horses also. To oversee and watch the progression of a bunch of young horses from beginning to ending hits pretty deep. The 4 I work now I got as unbroken yearlings, with no halter training, no handling, loaded by chute on a truck from a ranch out west. In 3 years they have become awesome workmates on my farm and in the bush logging. I trained them myself and they are my family in a way. If you have never done it you will not understand the significance of asking a wild animal to trust you enough to allow itself to work in this way and do it with a willingness and sense of interest and curiosity. It is humbling.
This clip is very inspirational.Fear will set you back and the lack of faith in something higher than yourself will sustain you from doing what your capable of.God knows the power of his creation.This is not about religon,its not about if your a christian,Muslim,or Hindu etc.God knows the power of us (Humans) It's us who may face it's on uncertainty.
Another horse truth to add comes from the area in which I live. Out here, trainers sometimes puts a beginning horse to something the horse thinks is too heavy. In struggling against it, the horse can't get himself in a lot of trouble, as he can't pull the load very fast or far. So the master knows that even though the horse thinks the load is too heavy (often called a slide, here, or a sledge in other places) it is what is best for his horse at that time. When the horse and his master trust each other more, because the horse is steadily pulling and trying with the sledge, even if he doesn't seem to get anywhere with it, then maybe the master can entrust the horse with his own child riding in a light cart. And instead of being frightened, the horse will think very carefully about what he is doing, start thinking instead of fearfully reacting.

For any one who is working with their subconscious, this is pure gold. Re watch the clip and replace the word horse for self.
