Horses need to trust.
They need to build a relationship.
When this happens, they WILL seek you out to help process their feelings.
I loved that he really wanted to connect while he was releasing during a break in his massage today. Off camera I am talking to him and reassuring him he’s doing the right thing. His adorable little nudges and steps forward show how engaged he was in showing me what he was up to.
They may be large animals, but they are very sensitive, sweet, and intelligent. Giving them space, time, and connecting with them will yield much better results for you both during massage sessions.
