"reward the slightest try"

Description

This is a principle in natural horsemanship. It means that whenever a horse gives to pressure, even a little bit, you MUST release the pressure on him. This is when he learns. Even though this horse is pictured with the "wrong halter," technically, he knows enough to NOT pull away but GIVE to pressure. Lesson learned! (Processed in CS4 and SPE)
