Horses are highly attuned to their rider's emotional and physical state, and they can sense and respond to subtle cues and signals.

When a rider is tense, nervous, or stressed, the horse can perceive and mirror those emotions, potentially leading to increased tension and anxiety in the horse.

Similarly, if a rider is relaxed, stable and confident, the horse is more likely to respond by exhibiting confidence and composure.

Simple breathing exercises can help with overcoming nerves and stress.

Strive for progress, not perfection

Horses are designed to move and graze for the majority of the day, and prolonged confinement can lead to issues such as colic, gastric ulcers, or stereotypic behaviours (like cribbing or weaving).

"Horses have evolved to eat little and often, around 13 hours per day.

Grazing activity peaks at certain times of day, primarily early morning (5 to 8 am) and mid-afternoon (approximately 4 to 6 pm.

Domesticated horses still display the same tendency to eat in bouts throughout the 24-hour period.

It makes no difference if they often graze in areas with plentiful forage or are stabled with all of their nutritional requirements fulfilled in the form of forage and concentrates. Studies have shown that horses will not voluntarily fast for periods greater than 3 to 4 hours."

- Dr Andrew McLean
