Horses will use body parts individually or together to convey different messages, such as pain, anger, discomfort, excitement, or irritation. It is important to remember that horses are prey animals, so it is their instinct to choose to flee in a fight or flight situation. This instinct must be taken into account when interpreting their body language. By paying attention to the subtle movements of the various parts of your horse's body, you will be able to understand your horse and meet its needs and insecurities.
