Horse Whispering

Horses are sensitive creatures that can communicate between each other and with other animals; Horse Whispering is based on these fact. What horse whisperers try to do is to associate with horses and to work with them in order to create and maintain a healthy horse-human relationship, in which both participants are beneficiated and satisfied.

Horses have a communication system, a language that is mostly based on corporal gestures and sounds (Horse Whispering: Learninig the Horse Language), like moving the head, or walking, or making noises with their nose when they breath, some of these gestures can be translated and used to work with the horse. When someone is working with a horse it is important to emphasize that the leader or the one who is dominant is the human who is training the horse and not the horse, because when the horse thinks that it is the dominant one then it will be very hard to work with it.

The goal of Horse Whispering is to create a healthy relationship between humans and horses. Throughout history we can see that humans have tried to domain other animals and other humans through violence, because violence and anger are part of human nature, but we can also analyses that this method of domination has not result properly or it has implied the death of animals and people. This is why Horse Whispering is very effective,  it is trying to reach a win-win solution in which both sides are happy with the results. Horse whisperers do not harm the animal to make it obey, people that harm other animals is because they do not understand their language, but horse whisperers do, so they try to make the animal understand them by communicating with them.

I think that it is essential that all humanity follow this philosophy toward all the living beings on earth in order to have an harmonious life with everyone and everything.
