This weekend Biasini and I are taking part in a Tellington clinic with Linda Tellington. I will post about it next week!
We all want to understand our horses better don’t we? We can’t get them to talk directly to us but we can learn a lot by observing them. This book by Linda Tellington-Jones is an entertaining way to understand your horse’s personality. The main focus is on observing the physical structure of the head.

I like the idea of a horse looking skeptical! I am used to my cat looking that way.

My other cat just meows at me.

My son thinks that the reason cats are so poplar on Social Media is their expressions. There faces can be highly amusing. Horses can be harder to read but their eyes are very expressive.
