Beautiful white horseHorses Live In A State of  Deep Awareness

Yet They Are Calm and Relaxed Until There Is A Real Threat To Their Safety 

Think We Can Learn Something From Them?

I was born understanding the language of horses. I remember my mother saying she just didn’t “get” it about horses. They didn’t give her anything, they didn’t communicate. What?!?

I recall how stunned I was by this statement. She was an animal lover. Cats and dogs were valued, beautifully cared for members of our household. Didn’t she see the affectionate sniffing and bumping of noses meant “Hello”? How could she not understand the communications sent by the swishing of a tail, popping of lips, rhythmic chewing or pinning of the ears? They were clear as a bell to me.

I realized right then that most people don’t speak the language of horses. That is why they resort to controlling methods of training. Often in the extreme.

Horsemanship is the art of mastering our own movements, thoughts, emotions and behaviour. Not the horses.
