As both a management person and a horse person with over 50 years of experience, I can vouch for every word she writes. Horses do share leadership within their groups-and with humans. The relationships that they will bring to the partnership "if" the human is open to receiving the offering is simply amazing. We humans see other humans riding and working with unfettered horses and assume that it is the results of training. It is not. It is the result of a shared relationship built on this shared leadership principle. That kind of trust means hours of work and quiet preparation. You cannot demand trust of them anymore than you can of employees. You have to earn it.
