My father drove and trained teams of draft horses. I learned from him how to handle them. He showed me that such horse is different. To work well with horses, I needed to know each one.
“But some things are true for all horses,” he said,“ Before you walk behind a horse, always let him know you are there. Before you go into a horse's stall(畜舍的栏), give him time to make room for you.
