    Ever wondered why we attribute human traits to our horses or pets? This intriguing concept, known as anthropomorphism, is the key theme for this episode of Horse Fix. We journey into this fascinating world and discuss how, despite our pets' inability to fully understand us, they can still offer us immense emotional comfort. Hal Herzog's insights shed light on how naturally we talk to our pets and ascribe thoughts and meanings to other facets of our lives.

    The exploration doesn't stop there. We delve into the striking similarities and the curious differences between horses and humans. You'll gain insights into common health problems, behavioral issues, and even sensory perceptions that both species share. Plus, we'll unpack the instinctual fear response horses have, the benefits and risks of teaching them to contemplate consequences and why it's crucial to respect these unique quirks. More than just a casual chat, this episode uncovers how by acknowledging our shared traits and respecting our differences, we can foster safer, more fulfilling relationships with our beloved equine companions. Tune in and let's unravel these connections together.
