Riding through the trees, he breaks off big branches instead of going around. If he's on a colt who's bothered by the rope, he just keeps playing with it and swinging it til that colt is comfortable.
Shy on the ground? Well, he just marches up to them and does whatever he needs to do. No sneaking around flighty colts for this guy.
I find this theory applies well to people, too. Avoiding uncomfortable subjects or conversations just makes feelings fester and puts more pressure on you.
Avoiding facing your fears will only make you more afraid.
Avoiding taking the jump you know you should to change your life will only make it that much harder in the long run.
The point of avoidance is, it's all in your head. Just like a colt afraid to cross a stream, whatever the obstacle is in your life is rarely as bad as you think it is. Be bold, and take the jump!
