The relationship between human and horse, both naturally
social species, is considered as a spontaneous event where
the communication with the horse is purposefully modulated
through movement, considering the sense through
which it is received, and can be applied in any equestrian
discipline on the ground (through sight, hearing and touch)
and in the saddle (through touch and hearing). If we
receive the response we are seeking in an interaction with
the horse, our communication was appropriate; if we get
a different response, we reformulate the request, leaving
out punishing a noncompliant horse which would end up
trying to avoid us. We do not use force and fear because
they can trigger a dangerous response through the horse’s
survival instincts.
Our experience resulted in the understanding that, if we
consider the nature and physical state of motion of the
stimuli that are causing the horse to be in the state of attention,
and the distance from the object of attention, we
can act upon it and establish a cooperative situation even
when the horse would normally tend to not cooperate with
the human partner.
We will also explore the possibility to bring our experience
into a scientific experiment, as the result could actually
benefit others, equines or humans.

When we ride and face situations that are new
or difficult many times we cannot manage what
is happening and this is when our cooperative
interaction with the horse is most important.
►When we are in the saddle our horse cannot
see our body, but can feel it. We need to let them
stop at the distance from the object of attentional
which they are comfortable with the situation.
Their field of binocular vision requires a certain
distance and head orientation, and their emotional
state regarding the object is also a factor to
consider, especially when the entity is in motion,
whether it is an animal or an object.
