HOW TO EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR ANIMALS

Some examples could be: if they are having training problems, there could just be that specific area of communication which needs developing; if they are in pain, you can see them having problems walking but it is difficult to understand if it is the shoulder, or the pastern; if the horse refuses to go into the
trailer. Lauren will give you specific ways of communicating with your animal and demonstrate using two horses on site.

ANIMALS ARE SENTIENT BEINGS

They have feelings just like us humans, it does not matter that they have taken a form below us, they serve us well, I sometimes wonder if the shoes were on the other feet would we serve as willingly? If they are unwilling to do whatever is asked of them it could be a deeper problem. Lauren will demonstrate communication using two horses on site.
