Showing the last two weeks and seeing the transformation of the horse ending with more heart than he started with was very satisfying.  It takes a good horseman to know how much to push a horse to give one a bigger end result.  Push to hard, and one can see all the confidence plummet along with a frustrated rider that will continue to try harder to fix the matter, only ending in a horse doing the task at hand scared, and because he has to.  Not push at all, the pair becomes ordinary, boring, a chore to watch.  The horse and rider look as if they don't have any direction.  Test the boundaries just right, one can observe a horse look to please its rider and see the pair out perform any combination with talent.  A horse with heart is a horse with direction, confidence, and willingness to learn.  A pat and a "good boy", go a long way when you get what you want.  Show the appreciation to your horse, and he will give you his heart.
