Horses are masters of non-verbal communication. They are sensitive not only to subtle shifts in their environment but can also accurately read the energy, body language and intention of people around them – abilities that have been vital for their survival over the years.
Their ability to act as an honest mirror for our thoughts, emotions and behaviours provides us with a unique opportunity for learning in a non-threatening and non-judgmental way. When you share space with a horse, the impact of your beliefs, thoughts, feelings and actions is reflected right back to you by the response of the horse, helping you become quickly more aware of what’s working well for you and also what may need a different approach.
