Yes, horses have a language of their own, and unhappily many of usa aren’t as aware of it whether we should be.  It is a big mistake to not to understand their language, whether it could signify problems for usa in the long run.  Every swivel of the ear(s), hip movement, tail flick & facial expression means something.  This is the language horses reason to talk to other horses & to usa – when just we would listen. 

We want to know what OUR body language says to them 1st before we could know them.  Flapping arms while trying to obtain the halter on will cause concern. Running at them in a pasture rather than walking up to them calmly could make them consider -  predator chasing me. We have every heard about bombproof horses – sorry, there isn’t any such point.  Something, some event will spook your horse – any horse.
In the meantime, remain your body language quiet, slow, confident & calm.  When you’re calm, this helps your horse maintain calm.  

Horses talk to usa through every body parts & that includes the front & back end.  Both ends can cause usa untold grief if we don’t pay attention to what they’re saying.  For example, most of us understand that when a horse has both ears pinned back flat something is actually wrong.  Chances are they are either frightened or angry.  In lots of cases it is anger.  Thus watch the front & rear really carefully.  Caution is best even if you think the horse might be listening to something behind them or bored.  Once you actually know your horse well, you would understand what the ears are saying. 

Ears perked up & forward indicate they are focusing their attention on something and are either up to a few mischief or they are on good alert about something they see, hear or smell.  Remind your horse you require his attention, specially if you are riding & the ears whip forward.

Brushing & caring for your horse is THE primary bonding experience among humans and equines.  Don’t ever underestimate how powerfully you’re communicating to your horse about YOU while you brush him. Find more other useful articles about natural food for dogs, poodle dogs and dog cages

Horseback forever <3 asked:

Well, you see, I am moving to the country for the first time. Always lived in the suburban. No pigs, horses, chickens, goats, or cows! All I have is three cats and a dog. Anyway, my parents are going to buy me a horse and I need to be informed how to take care for it. I have always wanted a horse for a pet. Also, what do you wear while horseback riding? Any horse breed reccomendations? ANY INFO ON HORSE IS FINE. I NEED THE INFO BEFORE I KILL THE POOR HORSES! Thanks, I bet I won’t kill them though. Rotfl. Bye!
