The most important lesson of the story of Pleasure  getting caught (or the 'catching' story) is still unfolding. He was understanding the word "catch" as I 'said' it. His "experience" of being caught was quite different than I intended. Good intentions are not enough. All of our behavior (shoes/barefoot - herds/stalls - saddles/bareback -  bits/bitless - riding/groundwork) has only the best intentions at heart. (at least within this group lol)
Pleasure was telling me "catch" was the WRONG word. Even the WRONG behavior! What I really want to do is invite myself INTO HIS WORLD. What I was really doing was dragging him into mine! My work (as KFH says) is to become 'worthy' (responsible for myself) of this invitation! ALL of KFH encounters with the horse leaves the horse "intact". He "takes" nothing and yet the horse "gives" everything.
 I could list enumerable 'stories' of what this "looks like".
Starts with - "It is not your hoof!"
