The reason why I changed my title to this is because I realised that my connection towards such animal is infinite, and I can also feel the horse accepting my leadership towards us together. Riding a horse is not only about your balance and skills, it is about the connection towards the animal and the animal connecting to you. A horse has it's own thoughts running through it's mind which means that it also can get bad days and good days, unlike a motorised vehicle.
For this documentary, I will be specifically talking about one horse that just retired from the racing industry, this horse is special to me because he was rejected by others because he was considered as a "crazy horse". In my unstable mind this meant "my kind of horse", therefore i asked the owner if I could ride him for a day...by the end of the session, I created a bond between the horse and I. Even the owner himself couldn't believe his eyes as I rode the horse (Titan) around the arena. All I did was accept his movements through my body and also accepted his thoughts through mine, which meant that together we became one. Teamwork between horse and man is the key to success in riding, as the horse won't perform it's best if it doesn't accept the rider and the rider won't perform his or her best if he or she does't accept the horse.
Moreover, I just want to let a message to other beginner riders that being the perfect rider is about having a connection with the horse and not just being perfect at riding. Yes, knowing how to ride is a key, however you can't ride perfectly with a horse that you don't have a connection with.
