- From the Horse's viewpoint - Whether you have worked all your life with horses or you have never worked with horses before, if you are trying to interpret what you are seeing in a session and you have not learned to communicate fully with the horses doing the session, you are at a disadvantage and not really utilizing this type of potential. Learning what horses are telling you in sessions, not just what your clients are telling or showing you leaves you with only half the information.
- Understanding your horse - How horses communicate - body language and energy
