Tension and the overachieving horse

[Obsidian_Fire]

I have found that with these overachieving types once they learn enough to get out of “baby land” they are a lot happier as you and they have MUCH more to occupy the mind. It takes a lot of patience and persistence.

Generally be vigilant about letting off an aid once you get a response. And make sure you’re working from ask/tell/demand phases- some sensitive types I know get very offended if you tell before you ask.

This 100x. My guy is both sensitive and a control freak. He gets upset if you don’t let him try first. We walk a fine line between needing 24/7 guidance and wanting independence.
