Knowing what the horse is trying to tell you is vital during handling, working and training. One mistake in the communication process can take a while to fix, depending on the horse and situation. Too often, we misinterpret what the horse is actually saying verses what we think he is saying. I believe a lot of the problems that occur between people and horses stem from miscommunication on our part, lacking in knowledge of the horse language. The horse's language has been the same for thousands of years and it's not ever going to change. However, our language and actions have changed extremely, and is still constantly changing. Knowing what your horse is saying, knowing why he is saying what he is saying, and then effectively communicating with him, makes a world of difference when working with your horse and training your horse. Make time to learn their language. One little mistake on your part can take minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months (years in some cases) to fix. Horses can be forgiving, but forgetful is something they're definitely not. They don't forget. They learn.

Horses are very keen on body language, and what I refer to as “presence”, and expression. They know quite a bit about you before you ever get to ‘em. They can read things about you clear across an arena.

Bath Time: Lots of people get into real trouble in this area. Horses know how to get wet, they stand in the rain all the time. However, getting sprayed with pressure from a hose is different. A horse should be sacked out with water like any other thing that is new and scares them. When giving a horse a bath, always spray the feet first. By wetting the legs and feet, you let the horse know what is coming and prepare them for what is coming. This will also help prevent a horse from kicking when water drips on his dry leg, which he may mistake for a fly or bee. So start with the feet and legs, then work up to the lower body, then the top and then the neck and head. I see lots of people say my horse doesn't like his head wet, so they never wash his head. Your horse will accept his head being sprayed if you do it and don't avoid it. Don't stop spaying a horse if he dances, moves or tries to get you to stop. Only stop washing him when he stands still and shows no resistance. The trick is to stop so fast at first that the horse does not have time to move. That way you work from the right answer. Too many people try and do it too long and then the horse moves and then they stop, teaching the wrong answer. Stopping more and faster is the key, so the horses learn you will stop and there is NO reason to move or get scared. Like in all horse training, you stop pressure when you get the right response, not when you get resistance.
