aww maybe you just didn't find the right horse that you "clicked" with? i don't really know. but i think it's very interesting the way they interact with each other and it's so amazing when they "accept" you in the 'herd'. i was trying to train this 3 year old filly with severe behavioral issues and i had to have one of the stable hands bring her out in to the circle-corral-thingie (because they were big strong guys and the horses wouldn't kick them becuase they were afraid of them) but she wouldn't let anyone pet her and the guy who normally trains the horses just gave up on her so he said i could train her if i wanted, so after three weeks of workign with her with the method ,and i couldn't put a lead rope on her, she came up to me and just laid her head on my shoulder. it was so great. but unfortuantly i had to move not long after that so i don't know what happened to her, i think they were just going to sell her to whoever whould take her
