Equine communication refers to the ways in which horses convey information to each other and to humans. This communication can be verbal, such as whinnies and snorts, or non-verbal, involving body language like ear position, tail movement, and facial expressions. Understanding these signals is crucial for effective interaction with horses. Horses use their senses to interpret their environment and communicate their feelings. For example, a horse with its ears pinned back may be feeling threatened or aggressive, while a relaxed stance with ears forward indicates curiosity or calmness. Recognizing these signs helps improve the bond between humans and horses.
