EPISODE #03
“You Too Can Talk Horse”
Guest – Elaine Cardillo from Long Island, New York

Part 1 – The best way to learn how horses communicate is by simply observing them.  Horseplay is instinctual to the horse.  This is how they create the pecking order.  As horses play/communicate, Elaine describes what they are doing. 

Part 2 – Being that horse communication is instinctual; humans can take advantage of this and mimic horseplay.  Elaine demonstrates exercises with “Murph” that imitate horseplay.  If you can learn a little bit of the horse’s language your relationship will be that much easier and better.

Part 3 – Elaine continues to mimic horseplay, specifically driving exercises.

Part 4 – More horseplay with Murph.  Elaine communicates with Murph to walk around her and sideways.

Part 5 –  You too can talk horse.  Elaine explains how successful the session was.  It may look slow but that is how it starts.  If you can learn a little bit of the horse’s language, your relationship with them will be that much better and safer.
