HD Q&A: the free self-multiplying archives of questions inherent to horse riding and keeping! All registered members can immediately interact with HD Q&A - choose your subject HERE!
A 'new era' in horse communication, the Whisperers' ways read through us mere
mortals' eyes or simply... the equine world explained by the horses themselves?
Personally, I'd opt for the third resolution...
 brings a different, refreshing perspective on all aspects of riding and horsekeeping, for both the experienced and the inexperienced horse lover. It is a clear, step-by-step guide through the meanders of that somewhat inexplicable, fiery and forever wild nature of the horse. It takes sensitivity, patience, dedication and self-control to reach the apex of complicity between horse and rider, the first step towards it being the ability to establish complete trust in each other. It is reknown that it takes many years to build up enough experience to recognize one's own past and present mistakes, some of which may have had or have a devastating outcome on the psychological and physical welfare of the horse involved. This long path is often fertile ground for unnecessary stress upon the animal, whether intentionally provoked or not, and this applies especially for those horses which are trained for competition purposes, at each and every level, in every discipline.
Horses do explain why they react one way rather than another in a set situation, they do tell us what they feel and how they think; but if each could always have his say about the things required of him, if a dialogue could be achieved in a language that both human and animal understand perfectly and clearly...wouldn't this simplify the competitive horse's life? It is up to the human being to take the first step towards such an honourable purpose, for man's reasoning ability outruns any horse's.
is the final, successful result of many years of what I love to define 'psychological risks' - said risks being the new approaches to the horse's training by seeing it through his eyes, and not the rider's. It is a very practical way of teaching both horses and riders keeping the Horse right in the centre of it all. It is a very personal journey printed out for the benefit of those who choose to enjoy the beauty of riding and competing by bringing the athlete's full potential out in the open without having to succumb to the traditional and often stressing training techniques. It has been created for the benefit of those who are professionals in the horseworld as much as for those who are taking their first steps into it. It has been created for the benefit of all the men and women who wish to expand their mental elasticity and comprehension regarding the skills involved.
Above all, it has been created for the benefit of the Horse.
HD has been online since year 2004 and is considered an extremely valid and qualitative horsetraining 'tool' for Dressage and Showjumping horses, riders, trainers and instructors. Various Web Awards for educational, informative content have ever since added to its prestige also. Among the most important, the *Talking Hands Award*, the designation and recognition as *Learning Fountain* (both AS! 5.0) and receiving the *Humanitarian Service Award* (see AWARDS).
HD is by choice a website with a dark background in all its pages: a darker screen needs less electricity output.
This is our contribution to energy-saving behaviour which is wise for us all to put to practice, where possible.
