Playing games with horses is playing dangerous

"Horse" comments on "natural horsemanship" by saying that playing games provides a systematic approach for "newbies." One of the major problems with playing games with horses (also one of the major problems with early foal "imprinting").....is the horse begins to think you are equals, and therefore entering your space is perfectly acceptable.

If you want to get along with horses you are not equals and never will be...either you are the leader and dominate the horse (and that's a natural situation) of the horse dominates you, which is the most common result for those who "play games with horses."
