How Horses Really Communicate and How You Can, Too!

communication relationships space energy empathy focus
Horses communicate in ways that we're generally not taught, but that we all naturally understand. If you've spent any time with Amazing Horse Country, whether in a clinic or webinar or private session, you've likely heard Scott talk about the ways in which horses communicate. In this webinar, we're really going to dig into those. Define them. Demonstrate them. When we are working with others, be they people, horses, dogs or what have you, it's essential that we can communicate in a way they understand. Imaging trying to teach a person how to do something intricate - when that person doesn't speak English at all, and you don't know their language. It would be frustrating to both parties involved. Many training methods focus on teaching the horse a piece of human communication. I've found the deepest and most clear way to communicate with a horse doesn't involve teaching them anything at all. It involves us learning, because they already know how to speak "horse".

Posture - The Practical Side

posture focus
If we concentrate on our posture we could end up riding stiffly, and lose our focus and connection with our horse. Instead, let's use our posture to affect our horse's mind and body. We'll discuss how posture and focus are interrelated and inseparable. To demonstrate, I ride Chip away from the herd at our new ranch. He has some struggles and I help him out using my posture and focus.

Keeping Your Horse's Mind

focus trail riding following leadership
Many times it is advantageous to have our horse's mind on us or the activity we're involved in, be it training, competing or a trail ride. Many times, though, our horse's mind is somewhere else. Is this even a problem? How do we get their mind back? Is it OK for a horse's mind to wander - after all, ours certainly do! We'll answer all these questions and more in this extended show.
