The Horses You Love to Ride
Horses are one of the most intelligent and intuitive animals. Their ability to bond with a human and develop a relationship is second to none. While they do learn quickly and can be relatively easy to train, they will take advantage of you at every opportunity if given the chance. Understanding their nature is critical in having a healthy and respectful relationship with your horse.
Horses are social animals that can form strong bonds with people or other horses. Like any animal, they need companionship and interaction, but unlike dogs which crave interaction with humans, horses can be happy living in herds without any human contact whatsoever. Horses live together in herds as protection from predators because their instincts tell them that there is safety in numbers.
Horses are prey animals meaning that their instinctive response when faced with a threat is to flee from the danger via flight behavior – running away at full speed – rather than fight back or stand still (freeze). To survive as prey animals, horses have been equipped by nature with an uncanny ability to sense predators such as wolves from far off, enabling them to run before being seen or caught by the predator. They have acute eyesight (with panoramic vision), sensitive hearing and an incredible sense of smell which all serve as early warning devices for potential threats; once alerted, flight provides safety for themselves and the herd. Additionally, because they live in large groups where each member depends on all others for survival, they must get along or risk being ostracized from their herd resulting in almost certain death since they cannot survive on their own against predators. Therefore maintaining harmony within the herd is vital.
