i thought it was so interesting in the Liz clinic, when she wanted us
to dog walk, to go at the slowest possible walk, she had us stare at
the ground.  and it was almost like Tivar stopped wanting to hardly go
at all.  just showed me how a horse is affected by where we look.  I
wonder what it says to them when we look straight down.  Be cautious
and walk slow?  Danger?  Something on the ground we need to be looking
out for so go slow? Do you remember that Anna?  How did Falki act when
she had you look down.  Tivar immediately started hardly wanting to go
at all.
