We teach people how to treat us with every interaction. It's okay to have different levels of boundaries with different people.

There are a multitude of reasons a person may have a hard time establishing and keeping healthy relationships. Mutually respectful boundaries are a start, but a relationship also requires trust and communication.

A part of why therapy involving horses is successful is because horses are non-judgemental. However, much like humans, horses do not offer unconditional acceptance. They respond authentically to their human "partner" and can sense when a person is trying to control them. A horse will comply out of fear, but this isn't a healthy connection.

📌 Successful communication with humans is also largely non-verbal. In fact, 55% of communication is body language, and 38% is tone. Thus, only about 7% of how people communicate is done with words.

Horses may respond to our non-verbal or verbal communication. When free to choose, a horse may or may not connect with a person. Just as the horse can sense when a person is trying to dominate or control them, they can also sense when a human wants a truly heartfelt connection. As the human learns how to form a sincere emotional bond with the horse, these skills can translate into healthier human connections. ✔️
