I ride at a riding school, so most of the horses are pretty numb to all of this, but the other day I was handling a more newly arrived horse, and simply couldn't get her to stand still when I was mounting up. Suddenly I thought of this video, asked myself how I was standing, slumped down a bit and voila, horse was standing perfectly still. I really wish our teachers there would tell us stuff like this.

The more relaxed you are around a horse the better it is for THEM and for you. They are prey animals, so they are always on the lookout for something that will "eat" them. They pick up on everything and can see right through you. They are much smarter than we give them credit for.

Even on your first change in position I immediately noticed a response from the horse before the demonstrations begin. The level of alertness, that somewhat hint of that anxiety tick swaying the head and nipping at his leg. It's interesting how deep this goes with animals in general. Same goes with dogs when it comes to posture, and stances.

if you have any horse WELL trained on the ground there is a lot less work to do in the saddle. I always started my horses at yearlings. working on leading, start with halter and lead, then just halter then nothing then repeating these same steps outside an arena. If your horse trusts you and know what you ask of him he will make a better mount in the long run. I never rode my horses until they were 2-2.5 and at two it was sitting for a few minutes once or twice a week and gradually moving up. I had my last mare she was born late in the year and she was 2.5 to 3 years old and we took the trophy at a club for the competitions that summer for the 5 and under classes. she did lead changes and side passes and backing up in different directions. this is with riding her a few times a week and ground working the rest.

Not more sensitive than a cat, just slightly different. Felis familiaris is both a predator and prey, so they are equisitely sensitive to their surroundings. However, many cats become somewhat de-sensitized to their owners, especially when indoors. Take the cat outdoors, and it may show you where the term 'scaredy cat' came from. Horses often do the same thing. One example is horses that are dead quiet in the ring, but a bundle of nerves when ridden out.

Hi. Molly here from CPK Training. Humans love to talk. Even the good ones. Today this nice human forgot to bring carrots so the object for you , the horse, is to get the blah blah blah over ASAP. So offer every bit of cooperation you can. If you don't recognize word clues just guess. Do be careful not to get hit in the eye when a human walks toward your face while spinning a lead rope or reins. Be polite and whatever you do never step on your human. This will trigger another blah blah blah session and possibly other assorted unpleasantries.

Excellent, well-presented and informative, with one small correction: When talking about non-verbal communication percentage, I think you may be referring to Albert Mehrabian's 1971 contention that communication is "55" body language, 38% tonal and 7% verbal"; certainly few would agree with the 7% figure, and his statement has since been debunked. But your point is absolutely valid. In my experience, far more than half of my equine communication is non verbal.

I was very scared of her because I was young but I loved her very much and wanted to have a close relationship with her. Now that I am 16 and trying to be around horses more (that have not been abused) I still get very nervous even when standing next to them. Anyone have any tips or suggestions? I am saving up money to get my own horse and board him where I take lessons, and I want to have a close and comfortable relationship with them. :) I just need more advise on how to calm myself down, it's like I get too anxious that they won't like me or be afraid of me.

glorianne papolis The horse knows where her focus is, and sunglasses prevent her from squinting or frowning - which the horse may interpret as being unfriendly. Also, I am 99% certain she does not want to make direct eye contact. Predators stare so horses don't like eye contact. As for the twirl, timing is key. If a dominant horse wants to move another in the pasture, she gives a couple subtle cues and if the other does not move they will get bit or kicked. In the video she is giving subtle cues with her posture. The twirling lead rope is similar to another horse reaching its neck out to bite. It is a warning. Twirling harder and faster would be the next level before popping the horse with the end of the rope. This is a very good video imho.
@gloriannepapolis31917 жыл бұрын
patty huber you don't have to pop him in the face, horses don't bite each other in the face, I have seen her make direct eye contact in other videos, she says it herself , direct eye contact to make them do something, and she is not wearing the sunglasses to prevent from squinting or frowning as you say, that does not make sense, if that was the case she would always be wearing them,

Since I posted here, I have experimented with mine, further proof of their attention. I have been in his stall with the door open, and I turned and looked intently out the door. He stopped eating immediately, and looked too. Then I turned back to him as if giving the all clear and he also resumed eating. Now when we ride out (only short distance up the road as he is only 5, and still has two years left to grow), I will look at something I think will concern him, then look away, he has been very good so far, flags, trash bags, dumpsters, dogs, other horses, cars driving slowly past (we have yet to go on the open road), if anything, its noises that make him react more than visual things. But the body language thing really is very powerful. I have now trained my cats to hand signals, the same as the horse... proving, even though it looks like they are ignoring, they are not.
