Understanding the Equine Mind

Man has progressed from brute force training to the goal of understanding the equine mind.

In learning to understand The Horse people are coming to a greater understanding of relationships, not just man to horse, but to all animals, and yes person to person.

Horses are a herd animal and a prey animal. Their very survival demands that they communicate. And they do. Subtly. People must slow down and take time to observe, to understand the equine mind. Fortunately for us, there are horseman who have taken this journey and written of their experiences. Thus we do not have to reinvent the wheel in our own journey of understanding the horse.
