Horses and humans are capable of forming relationships of a most special kind. Communicating through touch, a kind of language that is neither the predominant language of humans or horses. It has been termed by linguists as an ‘embodied language system’. This is communication that depends on touch, emotional connection and fine tuned responses to physical movement. It is an intelligent and complex form of communication recognising the nature of horses as being sensitive and decision making creatures. As a human sits atop his horse, they come to communicate and function as a single unit requiring huge levels of control on both parts. This ability to communicate in such an outstanding way between horse and human can take years and untold hours building up the trust and communication. It starts very slowly, gaining the horses trust by applying pressure to various parts of his body. Such synchronicity can be perfected to such a standard that it can appear to the onlooker as elegantly effortless. Harmony has been achieved.
We may not be fortunate enough to have horses as part of our daily lives however it does not stop us gaining great joy in the beauty of these intelligent and wonderful creatures.
