The coolest thing about working with horses who've had no human experience is that you get pure feedback on your communication skills. They already know the language so if you are not getting results then you need improve you language skills. They are fluent. Been communication since the day they were born. Their mommies showed them everything they needed to know. The pasture mates continue and if we are lucky, we might get an insight into their inner language. The sutlies of movement and energy. How they must adapt to our voices and human tendencies. I swore I wouldn’t speak baby talk to her and now it’s like “oh my goodness, how’s my little Violet today”. If anything, perhaps our voices help us to calm our energy levels down to make us more relaxed when we need to be.
