I have finally figured out a way I want to handle Zum. It took a lot of trial and error. I tried doing things that both my horse trainers in Arizona did as well as asking new horse trainers what I should do. Their suggestions were not working. A huge rain storm recently made Zum feel frantic and frightened . He was whinnying and galloping in fear but I couldn’t calm Zum down. I realized at that moment that my relationship with Zum is what is most important. Zum’s relationship with other horse trainers isn’t the point. I need to find a place with Zum where he looks to me for guidance and comfort.
