The Left Brain Extrovert likes it best when you encourage him to move more freely.

Idle hooves are the devil's workshop with an LBE.

I know another horse who does well for his rider in obstacle trail competition. He can't wait to see what interesting stuff awaits him on the course! The only trouble is, he has a very hard time waiting his turn. While the judge is explaining the task, he is trying to grab her clipboard and pen out of her hands!

When picking out the rescues I was

taking home to train, of the 5 untamed

colts, one stood out to me. He was a

big, pretty bay. I noticed, (how could

you not?!), that he was in all the

pictures I took, his nose pushing

forward for his close-ups. Yep, he was awesome, and he was in my face, asking, “What's up?!” Even though I knew he'd make a great horse, I also knew he would require lots of energy from me to train him. I am more of an introvert, so I choose 2 Introverts, Graziana and Remington.

Will he act out because he thinks you're too boring?

When you think about matchmaking with an LBE horse, you might ask if is it a good fit? Will the horse dominate you because you are an unconfident rider?

How much time do you have to work with this horse? How much do you want to change to make the relationship work?

Never forget it is a relationship. A friendship. If we are up for the task required to engage and win the heart of the LBE, there's nothing he won't do to impress you. He will put enormous effort in, becoming your warhorse. These are the courageous ones; the CEOs of the horse world. Things get done. How high do you want to go?

The LBE will take you there! He's born to perform.
