Taking the time it takes - to learn from each other - horses teaching humans - humans teaching horses
a mutual lifetime journey and process. What a privilege.

In December of 1981, my mentor, Mr. Troy Henry, passed away unexpectedly. A month later, a client of mine, Dr. R.M. Bradley, invited me to come down to North Hollywood. He said I was even better at talking about what I did than I was at doing what I did, and he wanted me to give a seminar on what I....

Love Pat and Linda's Blog horsey insights - here's another great one - Principle 6 - Body Language is the Universal Language
I've often said, “I've got it, you've got it, dogs have it, horses have it.” And then, pointing up to the sky with one finger, I say, “Even E.T.’s got it.” It’s what makes that movie so adorable.

It could be that many people think animals are dumb because it says something about dumb animals in the Bible. But what that means is that they can't talk. While they can't speak a language orally, they do communicate with each other beautifully.

Some animals are very oral, like dogs and dolphins. But other animals like horses, deer, cattle, and sheep rely primarily on body language. They make sounds, of course. They whinny, snort, and do all kinds of things. But just think about this, if horses could scream or yelp like a dog, could you imagine the sounds they might make while being ridden?

Tom Dorrance taught me that horses are very good at perceiving danger, people, places, changes, and things and are particularly adept at judging distance and approach.

I remember being 12 years old, and there were a few horses in the pasture who didn’t like to get caught. Six or seven of us would get them cornered and get within ten feet of them. But once you got within four feet of them, they would burst through all of us. We all came out there with halters and lead ropes, buckets of grain, and carrots, but there's no fooling the horse. Horses know what we know, and they know what we don't know, but most people don't know what they don't know. And if the horse knows what you know and knows what you don't know, and you don't know what you don't know, then you’ve got a problem. You just don't know it yet.
