Quick Tip #81--Immerse Yourself In The Language
I understand that the quickest way to learn to speak a foreign language is to learn basic structure and vocabulary and then go to a place where that language is spoken and watch, listen and learn.
Immersion in that language is a great teacher.
The same is true of horse body language. Learn the basics of heard communication. Then go sit in a herd with your mouth shut and your eyes open.
The bigger herd the better, but one can learn a great deal from just studying the interaction between two horses.
Ten hours of intense study doing this is worth many hours of watching big money clinicians.
(And it is free).
(Two non Corolla colts I gave to Boys Home of Covington, Virginia for their natural horsemanship program are shown above.)
