What Does It Mean When Your Horse Touches You?

Ever wonder why your horse nudges you with their nose or presses against certain parts of your body? Is it affection, a request, or "disrespect"? In this episode, we’re diving into what this communication means.

We break down misconceptions around behavior and show you how to tune into your horse’s subtle cues. We also dig into the energetic connection between horses and humans—including stories of horses detecting pregnancy, sensing emotions, and facilitating healing.

If you’ve ever questioned your instincts about what your horse is telling you, this episode is for you. We’ll walk you through practical ways to develop your awareness, trust your gut feelings, and create a two-way dialogue with your horse. 

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a whole new perspective on your horse’s language of communication. Hit play now!
