One of the horse's attributes is its ability to associate rewards with good behavior and punishment with bad behavior.

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Par le terme «aides», on désigne les mains, les jambes, la répartition du poids du cavalier, la gaule, la voix. La main communique ses indications à la bouche du cheval par les rênes. Les jambes transmettent la volonté du cavalier aux parties latérales du cheval. L'éperon sans pointes peut agir avec une finesse indicatrice et directrice non coercitive, supérieure au contact du talon nu. Les répartitions de poids suggèrent et favorisent les changements de direction, d’allure et d’équilibre. La gaule est une aide supplémentaire qui agit sur les parties du cheval que n’ atteint pas la jambe. 3, record 1, French, - aide
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS

Les druides étaient des initiés. Au terme de leurs longues études, ils arrivaient à détenir des pouvoirs qu’on appelle aujourd’hui para-psychologiques : commander aux animaux sauvages, voire aux éléments, pressentir ce qui va arriver ou ce qui se passe en d’autres lieux, guérir certaines maladies par la seule vertu de leur magnétisme. 1, record 6, French, - druide
