Horsenality Lesson

This is meant for anyone who wants to understand a horses horsenality. We break it up into 4 quadrants. Left and right brained and introverted or extroverted. Right brain is more cautious and nervous, really use the 'flight'. Left brains are confident and use 'fight'. Introvert is slow. Extrovert is fast. Then we put them together.
Each horsenality has a different technique that we use to communicate with them.
The Right Brain Extrovert (RBE) needs safety. Never push him past the threshold until he's calm. You will need to retreat and to interrupt the pattern. You must have a strong focus and must match the horse's high energy level. Give him a job to accomplish to replace his fear with something positive. He must think of you as his "safe place."

The Right Brain Introvert (RBI) needs comfort. The worst thing you can do is push this horse before he's confident. You'll ruin his trust in you if you push him before he's ready. Taking your time is important because you'll need to wait on this horse to process things. He needs to believe in you.

The Left Brain Extrovert (LBE) needs play. He craves creative, imaginative tasks and can't stand to be forced into anything. Because he hates to be bored, you'll need to speed things up, be enthusiastic and come up with variety in your lessons.

The Left Brain Introvert (LBI) needs incentive. There are plenty of ways to offer incentive without "bribing" him. (Think rest, grazing, treats, scratches.) This horse needs to have a purpose and wants to go somewhere. Riding circles in an area with this horse will lead to resistance and defiance. Use reverse psychology for best results.

The chart I attached gives more details about each quadrant.
