Practice Listening to the Horse

We could gain a lot more out of our relationships if we practiced listening and hearing more, especially when comes to interacting with the horse.

This once wild mustang mare is practicing being mentally, emotionally and physically present of what I'm doing.

I'm practicing reading her body language for feedback when I am spatially imposing myself so that I can help her learn not to be defensive and wary towards humans.

By learning to listen to the horse, we can then hear what, where and when they need more support from us. This contributes to the trust that can be built between us.

How often do you practice listening to your horse? Meaning when you see him display emotions and behaviors, do you put value to it? 

Do you believe what he is offering? 

Do you seek to address what is contributing to his actions? 

Or do you critique or disregard them? 

Do you not have time to "deal" with it? 

If that is the case, then when is a good time? 

Every interaction with the horse is a teaching and learning opportunity for both of you. The more available you are to hear the horse, the better support you can offer him building trust in the partnership.
