Horse Supplies Direct

Because we always see pictures of horses grazing in the field, we assume horses live alone with little or no rights. Because of their size and strength, horses can sometimes be misunderstood by many people who know nothing about them. If you're not around horses on a regular basis, you do not know how to act or safety problems associated with being near a horse. Let's take a look a the basic care of horses.

Communication is very important for all animals. Since they can not learn to understand human behavior, we as horse owners need to learn the horses in the world instead. Horses, like many animals, have a strong since of self-preservation. They are herd animals, so their instinct is to run from danger and stay in their course for the protection. With proper training and an experienced rider, adult horse can learn to follow directions rather than follow their instinct in many cases. Confidence is the key for this to happen and it happens over time. Spend time with your horse and always respond appropriately and consistent behavior.

Movements, body position and calls are all forms of communication with horses. Just sit and watch your horse for long periods of time and you begin to see the language of horses to other horses and humans. The ears of a horse in the sense that it always pays attention to. When you're riding, you want an ear to point you. If his ears are pinned back, it means he is scared or angry. Ears moving front and back continuously indicates the uncertainty. Do not get me wrong ears pointing back to listen with the "flat ears back" means anger.

The tail is also a way to read your horse. A high tail means excitement in a horse while a tail that is flattened and between the legs means fear. A tail that is about a tie is a sign of irritation and discontent. A sort of "twisted" the tail is often a sign that your horse is about to buck, particularly if he bows to his back, at the same time.

Facial expressions are another way to read what the horse is thinking. A wrinkled nose can mean the disgust and weariness. When a horse shows her teeth with an open mouth, that he is about to bite. A long nose and narrow the anxiety and fear show the mouth when they learned something. When he figures out what he wants to be taught, then his mouth will relax and began to chew. A long nose with a slightly open mouth shows that the horse wants to be treated and also married in return too.

These are just a few ways you can start communicating with your horse. Because people are verbal, we often do not want to include other forms of communication, but if we want a horse or an animal and take good care of them, then we should at least try to learn how to improve the way we react with each other. Confidence and positive interaction is the key.
