pretending that you can tell what a horse is thinking isn't hard.

but not everyone could make up a semi-scientific sounding name like "emotional confirmation" to describe it. not without cracking a smile.

and then to write an entire book where you apparently present your fevered imaginings as fact?

you have my respect kerry thomas.

Who needs to read it? "Kerry emphatically states Zenyatta is the highest level herd dynamic mare he has ever seen, on all levels."

yeah, they could have saved the verbiage. k.i.s.s. is a good rule of thumb.

I think it makes a lot of sense.

When I drive I'm always looking around and making moves based on the cars around me. Who hasn't picked off a car targeted ahead, or keep an a-hole driver pinned in when you have the chance.

You can especially tell the dynamics with me when you pass and look through my window. Clearly you'll see my head bob in rhythm to the other drivers around me, unless I'm making a bold move at which point it will be faster.
