Well, so now that we know about the horses being able to read so much of the humans based off their sensory apparatus, right? So, a horse, just by smelling us from many, many feet away, will know your gender. Will know your mood. They can smell your mood through the hormones that we are secreting

Manon Bolliger
One of the things that I noticed, though, because I went to that to participate, to teach the humans the human part, and, yeah, if, let's say, if a human being had pain in their hip and they were, you know, straddling the saddle a certain way, it would impact the horse.

Melissa Jarzynski
When ever you are on the back of a horse, that horse is dancing with the rider, and so it's just like it takes two to tango if you have a lame horse, you know, let's take a look at your riding biomechanics.
