Learn about one of the worlds most beautiful creatures.

Humans have the power to share a very special bond with horses that are kept at grass. If you look at their ancestors, they were originally wild animals with instincts like any other wild animal needing to survive but humans found a way to understand their phycology and integrate with them. This is depicted throughout all history books with them assisting us with tasks such as transport, plowing farms, pulling carts, recreational exploration and unfortunately wars. Horses are amazingly communicative and thrive in social settings which is a big indicator to why they can grow such a close bond with humans. They have broad emotions but through equine behaviour and knowing how to care for them, owning or working with horses is truly an amazing experience.
