也算領悟.

昨夜下了一場大雨.馬場所有的練習區因而關閉.下午,閒著沒事,與愛馬度過.

同往常一般,牽他離開草原區.我們前去三日賽的大廣場.大概一百畝的大地方.隨處都是嫩草.我帶著他四處晃晃,純吃草罷了.他享用這新綠,我則靜靜地陪著.

一些視頻在腦海中浮現..."Hempfling 牽著馬在草原閒逛, Nevzorov 也做同樣的事..." 回頭看看自己的馬,正專心地吃.我輕輕提起馬索,開始向前走.他也慢慢跟上.整個大區域只有我和他.倆個不同的生物一起亦步亦趨,想來就有趣.

忽然間,我開始問自己,為什麼馬寧願跟著我,而不願留在原地,繼續享用美食?

思索了一會,給自己以下的答案.算是這雨天和寧靜帶來的啟發.

1. 馬已經接納我,知道我不會加害他,跟在我身旁還常常有好東西享用.

2. 過去的種種訓練已經將我至放於"高等"馬的地位.

3. 在野外,馬是群居的動物,必須要成群才能增加存活率.落單的馬在野外,必死無疑.因此,馬自然會尋求伴侶.

綜合以上幾點,以我們的邏輯,應該是合理吧!

曾經聽人說,當馬相信你是他的領導,牠會為你領導赴湯蹈火,兩肋插刀.我打骨子裡不相信這說法.

想到了莊子觀魚的故事......

我也許永遠不知道他跟隨我的真正原因.但又何妨?這美好的時光,不需強加解釋,畫蛇添足.只需細細品味.

快乐！ h4v6sY

楼主总结的几点我都同意，我还觉得，其实马和人一样，当它喜欢你的时候，它觉得和你在一起很开心，很舒服，即使是放弃眼前的青草，呵呵 h4v6sY

有同感.

马的性格忠厚,当它以为你比它强大时候,就会象顺从头马一样跟随你.

大多数时候马这样的表现不是因为它熟悉你,而是因为你用horsemanship的规律影响了它.也许可以称之为马心理学?

当我在马背上的时候,马下的这种信任感就没有了.马观察不到我,可是能感觉到我,所有的交流就是我学习的骑术.

Horsemanship又是非常有趣的一个体系,应该有独到的训练方法.希望楼主继续介绍一些.

个人理解,请指正.

书上也是这么说的，
your horse trusts you more when you're leading him than when you're in the saddle. they trust and feel safe with you when you're working them form the ground. they won't necessarily trust you as much or feel as safe with you when you're in the saddle. when you're in the saddle, your horse can't see you, he can only feel your aids and hear your voice.when you're standing on the ground communicating with your horse, you are secure, balanced, and focused on him, in the saddle, you may be less secure, balanced, and focused. this make you less of a leader.

>your horse trusts you more when you're leading him than when you're in the saddle.

Agree. But there're ways to overcome this:

1. Every behavior needs to be SOLIDLY UNDER STIMULUS CONTROL before we go on the saddle. When going on the saddle, we do the training little by little. Only by doing this, we could be safe and the horse be more predictable.

2. Always ask the horse if it is ready to accept you on the saddle. If it is not ready, then you're adding stress to your horse. The stress could shut down the brain and all the trainings done before is just forgotten. 

3. Then it is your skill in riding. A good rider always has a better edge in training.
