There are no hard and fast rules about horses or working with horses other than plain common sense like don't walk up quietly from behind. Almost everything is "generally this works". A lot just comes from being able to pull from experience to figure out what works with that particular animal. Knowledge is your best friend.
Listen to experienced horse people and store that knowledge. It may not fit what's going on today, but it may come in handy another day. Or pieces of what someone says may work for you, while the entire piece of advice doesn't.
Finally, never hesitate to ask. None of us was born knowing what we do about horses. I enjoy sharing what I have learned so others will come to know and treasure their horses.
