To survive predators, horses have evolved to be extremely sensitive to their environments.
They instinctively analyse and react to our body language and other non-verbal cues providing us with valuable feedback and insights for other areas of our lives.
Horses often large in size and powerful in presence, and at times we are unable to control such powerful animals.
Approaching horses helps us reflect how we approach our relationships and how we can face other big or overwhelming things in our lives.
Horses are social animals with defined roles within a herd. They have distinct personalities, attitudes and moods.
They could be stubborn, or they could be playful. In other words, horses are a lot like us.
