Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone else read the book of Monty Roberts' horse-language?!

I'm in the middle of it, but what is quite clear to understand is the fact
that especially Mustangs HAVE a language to communicate with each other.
Why do humans always expect the horse to understand first and take over
human language?
Why can't humans just study the horse's language first and then help the
horse to understand theirs?? Who is the brain in this game??

Sorry if this is a little provocative and maybe on the irrealistic side,
but in all those years it made me sooo angry to hear people talking about
what THE HORSE did wrong, did not co-operate etc.. As if they do it on
purpose.....

Horses are flight-animals and humans are fight-animals <Monty Roberts> and
we, as the thinking-part, have to find a way to overcome this great
discrepancy. Best is, get to know horses' natural behavior and their
language of the body!

I cannot believe that sacking-out is still common, it seems more than
mediaeval to me!!!!
