Who is the teacher

Gold and I had a very good connection today he lowered his head to me let me pet his face and ears. He inspired me to not give up on the more challenging horses, I can see now why rescues are more challenging. When I started with my other horse I was just learning so now I can see everything from a different point of view. I think he is here to teach me, many times that is the case. 'Horses teach humans; humans teach horses'. He has A LOT more baggage then Annabelle did. He carries it all with him, and has a lot of displaced behavior. I can't be task oriented with him, I have to really focus in our relationship because he has never had a real relationship with a human before. Our first couple times playing I was worried I wasn't going to get through to him, but today that changed.
