Yes, there will be times when you have to toughen up, but the best relationships are based off mutual trust, gentleness, patience and love.
2. It doesn't matter what you look like.
It's been proven many times that horses are capable and many times willing to make friends with not only humans, but other animals as well, including those closely associated with wild predators.
(Except of course if that animal is a jerk and nips your heels. Then you either kick him in the head or trot the other way. True story.)
3. Stick together.
No one gets left too far away from the herd.
4. Watch over those who can't kick as hard.
5. The bigger your heart is, the harder you run towards your goal.
(For complete definition, look up Secretariat (pictured below). It's cool.)
6. Speak softly, but carry a big kick.
7. When the going gets tough, the herd gets closer.
8. There will always be that one nipper. Ignore if possible, but when it gets to be too much, you need to face him down.
9. Take a moment to look around you.
10. Everyone is capable of giving a hug.
(An even cooler fact about that is that horses aren't trained to do that.)
