I recently finished a horse riding course and it’s still weird… I totally love horses – (I love all animals really) – but when I interact with a dog or a cat I KNOW what he’s thinking… I know how to relate to him… with horses it’s different… very different… I believe that just watching how horses behave with each other might be a good start. Understanding why they do what they do would be level 2. If there’s any similarity to dogs (and it should be since they are both pack animals) then you probably have to observe how an alpha horse reinforces it’s position… My (not-at-all-professional) opinion is that body-language is more important than voice or treats. Oh, and they seem to be more sensitive to your fear (maybe because unlike dogs and cats they are used to be the prey not the hunter)

I made a rule that each time I step through the kitchen door I should try 3 p… Read how I did it…
