 The entitlement mentality is defined as a sense of deservingness or being owed a favor when little or nothing has been done to deserve special treatment. It's the "you owe me" attitude.

Entitlement in a narcissistic personality trait.

This is a human flaw that horses do not understand but so many live with daily and year after year and can be through many owners when they do not conform to an entitlement mentality.

I am here to say you are not entitled to the being of a horse's soul even though you have to pay for them to have them, which they also do not know or understand.

We are responsible for them, in their physical well-being and nurturing their emotional well-being. In turn, they will see you, listen to what you teach them, and willingly do so. That is when an honest and true working relationship will form and develop.

If one is working with a horse to impress others, then the horse is nothing more than a tool to prove your entitlement to other people.

Horses breathe and live as they are living beings, a life that should be respected, cherished, and a gift to experience in the eye of the unentitled mentality but as equals of different species.

Look around you, people are doing this to each other each and every day some as the entitled and some as the unentitled.

Learn to see it and know it.

A successful understanding of this yet is how one truly defines

success. That can be flawed as well.
