With their many ways of communicating, horses are often full of surprises—and not always pleasant ones, especially if we don’t listen, or wrongly interpret what they are saying. It really isn’t that difficult to understand what a horse is saying and how it is feeling—once you know what to watch for. That is where this book comes in. it describes in detail how a horse uses different parts of its body to communicate, wand what it is saying. Being able to understand what your horse is saying will provide a deeper insight into what it actually needs, in order to enjoy overall wellbeing of both body and soul. The author also tackles how a horse communicates with the people around it during work both in-hand and under saddle. The behaviour described is accompanied by wonderfully expressive photography which will educate the reader’s eye in the full range of equine body language.
