what's the deal with the horse?



I've seen this movie twice, but for some reason I'm looking the other way or out of the room or something during the horse scene. What's the point of her trying to lift the horses leg?

the way you approach the horse issupposed to represent the way you approach life.. like if you act scared around the horse and make jerky movements, it knows you arent calm and doesnt respond to you..

thank you. I thought it was something like that, just not sure what.

Also it is not actually possible to lift up the leg when the horse is standing on it, which is what everybody was putting so much effort into trying to do. What you are really trying to do is to get the horse to pick it up for you, which is pretty easy, if you go about it the right way.

also to show to you that you can't expect different results by doing things the same way.

so in the end after she picks up the horse's leg, she finally "gets it" and knows that she can NOT stay with the idiot boyfriend, no matter how much he says he's going to be different.

because HE'S not different, and so no matter how healthy she has become their relationship would be doomed.

It's equine therapy. It's used for lots of different problems.
