A Tutorial on equine communication.

For this tutorial I touched the "basics," rather than the more intricate styles of communication in the Language of Equus.

I've learned a lot about equine anatomy through basic observation and research. Working so closely with horses (and wanting to continue and broaden my work-base), it's essential that one learns the 'meanings' behind a horse's actions.

Nothing bothers me more than someone drawing a picture of a horse with the wrong body language. For example, a "happy" galloping picture with the ears flat back and nostrils flared. Not a "happy" horse, folks!

So I started a series of tutorials to teach about horses. This one, part 1 of Equine Communication. Part 2 will come in due time.

The section for the hindquarters is a little empty but will probably be more elaborated later.
