Confusion (real snowflakes)
One ear slightly forward and one ear cocked back are telling me she's confused....and communicating to me "It sounds like Mom but it doesn't look like Mom, should I stay or go? " I had a coat over my head and camera.....since this was a real wet snow I didn't want the camera to get damaged, It's really hard to take a picture this way, especially in 70km winds. LOL
The ability to read and respond to this equine body language is what sets great trainers apart from the rest. From a distance, it may look like these experts are "mind reading," but in reality, they're noticing and responding to the subtlest of cues from the horse, both on the ground as well as in the saddle.
