The actor recently had to learn how to ride a horse for his latest movie, “Australia”, and he said that this has taught him a great deal about being a parent: “I learn a lot about parenting from riding a horse. It’s the same thing. You can whack a horse – I’ve seen people do it. They whack them, they kick them, they do all that and you can get a horse to do something, but I was very lucky to have two trainers who taught me how to make the horse feel it’s their idea. I tell you, as a parent it is the greatest thing I’ve ever learned. No longer do my children have a bit between their mouths.” Yes, yes, make them think it’s their idea. I don’t know why a certain word like “manipulation” comes to mind. Of course, it is totally out of context here.
