“Only when we fully appreciate the language of the horse can we begin to unlock his full potential”
Horse is a foreign language…
There are many reasons why we need to understand what our horses are saying. Without understanding the horse we cannot expect to achieve a fully successful relationship. Furthermore quality of life and welfare may suffer through lack of knowledge.
Q. How will studying the behaviour of wild or feral horses benefit me & my domestic horse?
A. Studying the behaviour and interactions of horses in their natural environment allows us a much clearer insight into the true nature of the horse and therefore our domestic equines. Observing horses in their natural state enables us to challenge many of the assumptions we have of the domestic horse. It is easy to forget that in many cases the domestic situation is not always the most suitable one, and many of the things we view as problems can be understood just by pausing to look and listen.
When you take the time to stop, listen and understand you notice the smallest change, the subtlest look and the quietest whisper; nothing but good can come from this.
