Reading Horse Feelings

Learn to read ears, eyes, muzzle and tail — and tell worried apart from naughty.

Horses talk constantly, just not with words. This project teaches your child to read body language properly: relaxed, worried, cross, sore or simply asleep. They will build a feelings chart, study photographs, learn the signals that mean pain, and keep a short journal linking horse feelings to their own.
