I like this video.
She looks at him in pure love and adoration, her face is filled with the need to hug him to pieces
That says it all to me.
I find it strange when people consider the possibility that the rejoneo horse was loving the terror job he was forced to do and on the other hand people would have doubts of this free stallion with this tiny woman with her twig, sitting on the ground in nothing but trust for this fury creature... together in a strange envirnment, with hundreds of people watching, as if they were in their own universe...
The treat is about marking the moment: 'yes this is what I was asking, thank you, thank you so much!'
I love giving treats, it makes me happy, I can do a trick in return, giving a treat.
I can express my thanks actively...Maybe it's more for my own need then the horse's...
My grandparents always gave me treats for everything, but I loved them as much as I could love some one... with or without the treats
ps: Did no one notice on the NHE DVD's that it looks like the horses are expecting treats out of Mr. Nevzorov's hand by the way?
