Riding Horses in Real Time- Learning to stay mentally present

Riding in Real Time

During moments of unexpected or unwanted equine behavior, the human often tries to understand why "it" is happening. The reality is while their brain is desperately trying to process and search for understanding of the horse's behavior (often feeling like they are guessing,) they don't recognize how long they are leaving or "abandoning" the horse with their lack of communication while trying to sort their thoughts.

Understanding Horses- The Human Emotional Filter

The Human Emotional Filter

Frequently I've had posts shared with me about how "cute" something is in a horse, mule, or donkey's behavior. Unfortunately, when folks filter their interpretation of an animal's behavior with human emotions, it clouds their judgment in learning, recognizing, or believing what the animal was experiencing and communicating.

Unexpected Horse Behaviors

 No. It wasn't "All of a sudden..."

Horse behavior is not random.

You may have missed the subtle warning indicators in the animal's behavior and communication.

The physical responses reflect his mental and emotional state. 

The unwanted, resistant, avoidant, or even dangerous movement are the symptoms.
