Horse Behavior Explained

Understanding horse behavior is essential for any rider. Horses are prey animals, and their instincts often dictate their reactions. Learning to read a horse's body language can help you build a better relationship with your equine partner.

Key Behaviors to Observe

• Ears: Forward ears indicate curiosity, while pinned ears show irritation.
• Tail: A swishing tail can signal annoyance.
• Body Posture: A relaxed horse stands with a loose posture.

By observing these behaviors, you can respond appropriately and create a safer riding environment.
