Natural Horsemanship requires the human to be knowledgable of the horse's natural instincts and a communication system to use this knowledge in their work with the horse.

 

There is an emphasis on timing, feel and consistency from the trainer.

 

Humans can learn to use their body language to communicate with the horse in a similar way that horse's do to each-other.

 

The objective is for the horse to be calm and feel safe thoughout the training process.

A horse that feels calm and safe with his handler is quick to bond with that person.

 

The results can be remarkable.
