FROM THE
EDITOR
Welcome to the 259th edition of The Horse Trading magazine where we strive to unite our readers with a passion for horses. Studies of horse emotion, specifically the behaviours that are indicative of mood, have shown that by recognising their moods through behaviour and body movement it can enrich equine training, performance and success. Back in the 1990s, Dr. Gary Chapman wrote a book titled The 5 Love Languages that indicates people express their love in five distinct ways, depending on the individual. Some use words of affirmation, others do acts of service, and so on. I’m sure you would agree the same applies for your horse. The amazing feeling of being as one with your horse depends not only on good riding, but on many factors that all contribute to making the horse happy and comfortable in himself. So what is your language of love with your horse? Is it through supplements and feeds that you’ve carefully sourced and mixed yourself, an extensive grooming routine, perhaps you may sneak in an extra treat from time to time, or just quietly being in his space. Whether you are a traditionalist or have a more organic approach to the care of your horse, the ultimate goal is to build a happy mutually understanding relationship that benefits you and your horse. The take home message is to become a student in his language and soon you will be on the road to building a happy respectful relationship without saying a word. Enjoy this edition, Deborah Gray

HORSE WHISPERER coming to South Africa
A
HAPPY HORSE
How do you measure something as intangible as happiness, and how do you define it? Human happiness has been defined as a mental and emotional state of wellbeing with enjoyable activities. Pleasurable social activities, feelings of engagement and purpose with life are cited as some of the contributing causes of human happiness. However, does happiness exist in species other than humans and if it does can the signs be identified? Renowned horse trainer Monty Roberts will be coming to our shores as part of his world tour in March helping owners and their horses face their fears and demonstrating techniques to enhance trust between each other. As part of his performance Monty will demonstrate his unique non-violent concepts to overcome common problems and through effective communication techniques he will show audiences how you can create willing partnerships of mutual trust and respect. Monty, known around the world as the “Man who listens to horses”, has decades of experience working with horses and is an award winning trainer of championship horses, best-selling author, Hollywood stuntman and creator of the world renowned equine training technique called Join-Up. He has also trained some of Queen Elizabeth II’s equestrian team in London and been awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Zurich. He was only thirteen when he was sent to round up these horses for the Salinas Rodeo Association’s Wild Horse Race. What he came away from this experience with would alter the course of his life. He spent hours watching the horses and discovered a body language that the feral horses used to express themselves, set boundaries and communicated with each other. It struck the young teenager that if he could adopt this language, horses could be trained in a more humane and effective way. Monty will be holding two demos at the Equidome in Johannesburg on Saturday, 28 May and Sunday 29 May 2016 and in Cape Town at Mistico Equestrian Centre on 4 June and Sunday 5 June 2016. Tickets go on sale at Computicket from 1 February 2016. Please visit the dedicated tour website: www.montyrobertslive.co.za – for more details. 8
Professor Natalie Waran from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland presented his research at the 11th International Society for Equitation Science (ISES) Conference and he states that, “Unless we develop and use appropriate evidence-based measures and indicators, and emphasise their relevance to horse and rider, we will always be at risk of interpreting horse behaviour in relation to our own needs and emotional experience.” Indicators of good welfare for horses are becoming more important for animal welfare policy and legislation. Whilst it is not known if happiness actually exists in non-human species, it is generally accepted that if an animal is perceived to be experiencing pleasure, or indeed happiness, then its needs are being met and its welfare is beneficial. There is broad agreement within industry that behaviours such as, tail swishing, teeth grinding and expressing flight behaviours whilst being ridden may be an indication of negative emotional states, but there is less clarity on which behaviours may be seen as positive welfare indicators. Laboratory studies based on preference testing and analysis of behaviours shown in situations that are assumed to provide a positive emotional experience for the horse have highlighted a number of specific behaviours which can potentially be used to determine whether a horse is happy or not. However, Waran states that “for these objective measures to be of use we must also consider the real world where horses live, work and compete”. Future findings from objective studies of horse emotion, specifically the behaviours that are indicative of mood, will have to relate to equine training, performance and success. Once this is achieved, coaches, riders and sports officials can learn to recognise behaviours indicative of positive emotion in horses.
