Recently there was an article about personality clashes with horse and rider. A jittery, nervous rider shouldn't be paired with a generally nervous horse and a calm rider shouldn't be paired with a laid back horse. The logic makes sense, and it is very interesting when looking at myself. My horse will run if you put the reins forward and click once and will run as fast as she possibly can and I am one who will always get shaky and have a complete adrenalin rush when we compete. It makes sense how the two of us together will sometimes just have a crazy run. In the same day, we have won barrels at a Michigan regional equestrian meet and then turned around and ended up jumping over one of the fences in flags. A high strung team makes for killer times, but it could end badly on occasion.
