The Horses body language

1. Ears laid back – means the horse is very annoyed. If the ears are laid back flat the horse could even charge. Push the horse harder around the round pen focusing your eyes on his inside hip, and then relax the pressure. If he goes into this posture again, repeat. Each time you put pressure on him for doing this, he should begin to change his attitude, more each time.

2. Head shaking – considered the same as #1, only milder. Approach it the same way.

3. Tail tight against the buttocks – means he is not relaxed. As you work with him in the round pen, you will see the tail move further out and relax, more and more.

4. Head begins to drop and lip smacking – means the horse is relaxing and accepting what you are asking. Reward with lots of rubbing and praise.

5. There are many more signs to watch for. The more you observe the horse the more you will notice the different signs. Watch the ears. Where are they directed? What questions is he asking? Are you giving him the right answers?
