We recently visited a horse we see on a regular basis. Normally he greets us with ease, soft eyes, curious, comfortable.
But this time was different.
He was anxious. Worried. On edge. His body said he wanted to leave.
The owner quietly suspected another professional in the barn was the cause. No โproof,โ just a feeling based on the horses actions.
And hereโs the important part:
As soon as that professional left the barn, the horse returned to his normal self. Instantly.
No drama. No lingering tension. Just back to being the horse we know.
Horses donโt behave this way โfor no reason.โ They communicate through their bodies, their breath, their expression, and when something feels unsafe or uncomfortable, they show us.
The owner could have dismissed instinct, chalked it up to training issues, or like so many horses endure, punished the behavior.
Instead, the owner listened.
Shoutout to the owners who choose awareness over reaction. Who observe first, rather than correct first. Who understand that a reason always exists.
Because when weโre willing to listen, horses never stop telling the truth.
