4、My horse，Treasure，is my hero because she helped me discover how t6 relate to her．In the process，she“fixed”my relationship with my husband and my children．

    When I got her，she was 2 years old．She was not going to accept any kind of instructions from me．In the interest of not getting myself killed，I started to read and educate myself on ways to manage a high-spirited horse．

I discovered horsemanship（馬術(shù)），a method of training that focuses on communication．In order to communicate with another person，you must be understood．The very definition（定義）of understanding is two or more persons share the same idea．This simple definition had a big influence on me．I realized that communication is a two-way street!

When I started to adopt horsemanship in my life，I noticed a change in the way other people related to me．My husband，when I stopped ordering him around，became happier and more helpful．My children，when I practiced being fair，firm and most of all，considerate（體貼的），were motivated（激發(fā)）to act sooner，at the polite request instead of the orders from me．

    I think the most valuable life skill I learned from my horse is that pressure motivates．but release（釋放；放松）teaches．My children were more considerate of each other．a(chǎn)nd started to ask first，without telling．I became aware of my position as a role model．

My horse was not hard to catch．Today，five years later，I have the perfect horse．I also have very polite kids and a very happy husband．There’s nothing in the world that can compare to being loved by ones you love most—even if it all started with the attitude of a very special horse．
