The "Horse Whisperer"?


Many people have heard of the horse whisperer. They think oh sure like someone really talks to horses. Those people are very unlucky. They have not met Steve Edwards.


I am not saying that he leans down and talks to a horses ear, although on several occasions this has happened. Instead he reads a horses body language. Looking at a horses actions and understanding why they are doing something is being able to read a horse.
When you ride your horse is its ears pinned back or straight forward? Is your horses neck high and arched? Is your horse jumpy and ripping at the bit? Your horse is scared then.
That is being able to see signs. You can tell how your horse is reacting to everything by reading them. They will tell you everything you need to know if you just slow down and read them like Steve does.
There have been times when I wondered to myself if I should trust his judgement. However he hasn't steered me wrong, not even once. By listening to Steve I learned how to know my horse. I mean really know my horse more than anyone else does and be able to tell you everything about them before it happens and knowing how to correct it in a way that my horse will understand completely and thouroghly. Being able to read a horse is hard if your horse can't read you. Horse don't speak english. There brains aren't as developed as ours and they don't get why people do the things they do.
Steve is the closest thing to a horse whisperer. He can understand a horse in a way so that he canlet the horse understand him.
One last question for you?
Now when you ride your horse is it calm, collected, and smooth? Is your horses head lowered, it's mouth chewing lazily, and it's ears resting? Is your horses gaits flowing and easy? Does your horse love you to no end because they understand you like you understand them? Your riding a Corolla if so.
