Musings on horses and horsemanship keep my mind going day and night. Why do people do what they do with their horses?  Why don't they know what their horses are doing? How is it possible to not know when you're standing there holding the horse on line or mounted on said animal?

What's the best way to approach the fix?

Where are they on the ladder of their horsemanship and where do they think they are?

Insight into what you're actually thinking under whatever circumstances you want to present are welcome.
