About this listen

Understand what your horse is saying to you and build a profound and lasting connection.

  • Do you contemplate the majestic beauty of your horse and wish you understood all the mysterious thoughts and feelings it seems to be keeping to itself?
  • Does it seem like you need superhuman abilities to decipher the codes that your horse uses to communicate?
  • Would you love to be a skilled horseman—one who can speak gently to their horse using the right language, cues, and tones?

In a study by the Animals & Society Institute, equestrians identified a host of skills (both verbal and non-verbal) that they deemed indispensable for those wishing to understand (and be understood by) a horse.

“There is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse”, said Robert Smith Surtees, but to discover this secret, you need to master all of these skills.

If you ever thought that some people were “natural-born horse communicators”, know that all of them have honed their abilities through experience, observation, and the understanding that each horse is a unique being.

This guide seeks to help you strengthen your connection and build trust with your horse. Within its chapters, you will discover:

  • The nonverbal cues your horse is using to communicate with you—their ears, eyes, head, muzzle, and tail—are all relaying powerful messages!
  • Why respecting your horse’s boundaries is vital to having a harmonious relationship with them, and why it is important to allow a horse to say “no”
  • How to harness equine energy exchange to improve the health and capabilities of your horse
  • How to gain the trust of a young or troublesome horse and make them feel comfortable with you
  • Small yet powerful tricks that calm your horse down quickly
  • Fundamental riding and haltering instructions to ensure a safe and comfortable ride for you and your horse
  • How to end difficult behaviors like biting, fear, or shyness by understanding what may be causing them
  • Tips on horse safety, nutrition, and toxins to avoid for optimal horse health, including primary and secondary disease prevention for horses
  • And much more.

It may seem like there is a lot to learn, but the rewards that come from embracing two-way communication with a horse are countless. No more confusion, forceful wrangling, and misunderstandings. Discover how much more rewarding and enjoyable your relationship with your horse will be once you learn to communicate with them.
