First Do No Harm

Connection series: Eye contact


Listen Later

Join us over the next 8 episodes of our connection based training series as we become powerfully connected equestrians that don't feel conflicted about the tools that we us because we understand what our horses are trying to communicate when they don't respond to our aids the way we asked.


In this episode we are sharing with you one of our first key identifiers for whether or not our horse is with us, eye contact! As humans, we kind of suck at reading body language. We have so heavily leaned in to using verbal communication with each other that we have lost the art of non verbal communication. This is what we learn from our horses.

The number 1 way to recognise if your horse is with you and connected and consenting or if they're starting to feel uncomfortable with what you're asking them to do is their eye contact. This is one of the first places you are going to see your horse showing discomfort about the way you are trying to communicate with them and what you're trying to ask of them.
