Kouldbloed Kim produced this video "Leadership is a choice, not a rank." In the absence of any explanatory information, I believe this may be a TED talk of human leadership overlaying video of working with horses. I love the crux of the video--horse can choose to see us as leaders by building a relationship. Several research studies have shown that rank in a horse herd is a very fluid concept depending on circumstances, which horses are in mini-groupings, whether the mares are present, etc.
As a little girl, I always wanted a pony for Christmas. Santa never brought me a pony. So in my late 40s, I started taking horseback riding lessons. When I turned 50, I got my first horse, an Icelandic named Blessi (Veigar frá Búðardal). Little did I know how much fun life with an Icelandic was going to be. Blessi has a unique perspective on life. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoy Blessi. And you will probably read about my cats from time to time.
