Friends and family come to his ranch on the Wind River Arapaho Reservation near Lander, Wyo., to seek help in training wild mustangs and horses with behavior problems. Addison said there's nothing magic about what he does. His success is based on years of watching horses and humans struggle against one another in the ring. The more I watch, the more I see that horses don't lie. They will show you if something is wrong with the person in the corral.
Horses read emotions, so if someone is angry, they pick up on it.
Addison's reputation has spread beyond the reservation. The crowd, made up of horse trainers and horse lovers, braved the sleet and the cold to watch Addison tame green horses. Boy had never been away from his pasture in Littleton, nor had he worn a saddle or had a rider. The molasses-colored horse reared up, sending a strong message he wasn't in a cooperative mood. Addison called out to his son to tie Boy's halter to a rope on a pulley, which hanged in the center of the ring.
