I know that horses don’t aggressively bite people they like. I want Zum to like me. I actually want Zum to love me. My long term goal is that Zum and I learn to trust and love each other for life. When Zum is getting out of control, I change back to doing something controlled to calm him down and improve his mood. There is no point in either one of us being unhappy or upset. Zum is a mirror image of me and my emotions. If I want Zum to be confident and obedient, I have to show him my confidence and teach him how to be in control. I always pet Zum frequently, stopping and resting often when he does well.
