Learn Universal Horse Language: No Ropes

The Universal Horse Language program can be done alongside anything else you are already doing with your horse. If you are interested in liberty work, it is a brilliant introduction to staying safe and having fun. Universal Horse Language guides you through a series of eight exercises done with the horse at liberty in a large roomy area. The exercises begin with quiet sharing of time and space. The last exercise can become a high energy frolic with your horse. Each exercise flows into the next one as the horse and handler get to know each other's body language. Body language is the first language of horses, so it makes sense for us to learn the natural body language of horses. Because horses already know these things, this book is about training handlers rather than training horses. Learning and using the Universal Horse Language exercises is a superb way to set 'dates' with a horse. Since all horses 'speak' the same language, we have a way of communicating with any horse. We can use it to begin a new relationship or strengthen an existing one. Once we learn it, we will never forget it. This book is another excellent addition to Hertha's 'Life Skills for Horses' series.
