Have you ever wondered how those horse whispers speak horse language? Sometimes you'll watch them with a horse and they will barely move and the horse is doing exactly what they want. Other times they can be quite athletic but in both instances the horse is glued to them saying "Hey you know how to speak horse language!" The one thing that you should notice when watching a true horse whisperer is that they speak horse language without ever saying a word. Have you ever had the opportunity to observe a herd of horses? If you have you will notice that horse language is through the use of their bodies to communicate with each other. You will also notice that there is always one dominant horse in the herd including when it is just you and your horse together. Horse language can be so slight that sometimes you aren't even aware that the dominant horse just moved the less dominant horse with a glare. That horse didn't even have to move his feet (something to take note of when training). Some people tend to have a problem with horse language because they are so use to actually "speaking" to communicate instead of using their bodies. Try to be very aware of your body when you are out with your horse and see if you can zip those lips.
When watching two horses together sometimes horse language can look downright nasty as they argue for leadership with their teeth and their legs. But really this is only herd dynamics in action. If you pay close attention to the horse language and can see through the striking legs and bared teeth you will notice their ears. If you learn how to watch a horses body expressions and their ears you will be so much further ahead in horse language than many people. The ears will tell a story of "you're annoying me and this is your warning" to "I've had enough" to "what do you want to do now" to "I'm only paying attention to you with one eye and the other is on that barking dog". Since we don't have ears like a horse our horse language needs to have stages so we can give our horses warnings just as they do with us. You need to use your horse language on the ground and in the saddle. You want them to move away from pressure be it your leg aids, your fingers or with an object and by using your horse language in stages you can accomplish this. Don't forget to release at the slightest try for it is your horses teacher.
When using horse language you must always remember that you are the dominant horse in your herd of two. You need to practice your body language and your assertiveness. Your goal isn't to be 100% leader but to gain 51% leadership through horse language so your horse will respect you and want to be with you. Instead of using force to get your horse to do what you want you will use horse language, something your horse totally understands.
