Horse Language Course – How Horses Find True Closeness and Connection Part 3

How horses find true closeness and connection: Case study Sammie (running time 20:02 min.) // Excerpt from the DVD

Sharon Wilsie developed her groundbreaking Horse Speak® method to enable a completely new kind of connection between horse and human, a connection based on mutual understanding and deep trust. She demonstrates how this works in this film with Sammie.\nSammie is a Norwegian Fjord horse. The mare does her job as a therapy horse well, but she is deliberate, reserved towards humans and shows little interest in touch. Sharon Wilsie succeeds in gradually overcoming Sammie's reticence. Key to this change are
• The greeting ritual on the lead rope
• Recognizing "Upsies"
• Giving space
• Therapeutic backing up
• Foot pleasure and balance
