Demanding obedience means gaining compliance without ever considering the emotional state of another. Some horses will comply while others will defend and escalate the defensive actions over time. Developing a mutually beneficial relationship with horses starts by understanding what they are thinking and feeling more than what they are doing or not doing. Until we understand our horse's emotional life, we typically continue to have "horse problems".
