Horses by Shimi Cohen

Horses cannot split the emotion from the action, or from their ego.

The horse is her prey in the wild. Unlike humans this trait allowed it to survive for many years.

From existential survival through the escape instinct, the horse reflects in every movement in it the environment in which it finds itself.

Following the sensitivity of the horse, it becomes a "mirror of emotions" for each of us who has learned to hide an emotion even from himself.

A person's body language that hides emotions such as fear, insecurity and helplessness will see it in body language with high or low energy levels to the horse and it will respond to him in an immediate and clear body language of avoiding cooperation or escape and stress.

High horse neck, slow and stiff movement, eyes open without blinking, sharp movements are a sight for a person who exhibits tension and apprehension.

Low horse neck, harmonious and continuous movement, ears directed towards the rider or carrier, a horse that seeks the next request and obeys every request are a show to a person who manages to balance emotionally between self and emotion or between action and emotion.
