As I work with horses all day long I notice they seem to either be using the thinking side of their brain or the reactive side of their brain.
The ones using their thinking side are easy to get along with. They listen well and they try to please you. They may try to test their boundaries but they handle correction well.
The ones using their reactive side could care less about anything except themselves. Correction either has no effect or it completely blows their minds. You can work with a horse like this and get them to use their thinking side.
What amazes me is the amount of people I met through out the day who are using the reactive side of their brain and not thinking at all. Before someone points it out I know I have been guilty of this myself.

AMEN!!!
Have a magical day!
What a great post. It reinforces the track I need to stay on when I read it for sure. It also reinforces that as a mother rearing children I need to "train" them in the thinking side as they are young. Obedience is the most important thing in youth!! It's harder to train yourself from reacting to thinking when you're older for sure! God Bless, my friend!
