Today’s video is a different one and one that really shows just how gentle and intelligent horses can be. Emma Massingale is clearly a horse whisperer as she commands a whole arena full!
Simply Gentle
It is interesting to watch someone command the attention of multiple horses at once. She uses the horses herd mentality to become their leader and they take the passive roles without any argument – they look quite happy to have a strong leader.

Lovely Animals
If only we all had the space and animals to work with for such an interesting exercise. How well does your horse listen to you when they aren’t haltered?
Fan-blinkin-Tastic video. Thank-you for sharing. Great to see such trust and talent. 🙂
Only one niggle (and it’s only my personal humble opinion), but I felt more than a tad uncomfortable seeing the pretty handler riding, especially jumping, without a hardhat.
I realise it is each to his/her own, but this is not a good role model for our children. Teenager often think they can ride well enough to go without a hat ….. We can see how pretty and talented Emma is without her leaving off the hat .Sorry, it is a little “thing” of mine due to my normal life being stopped several years ago when I had a fractured skull as my horse fell in a freak accident.I WAS wearing a hardhat, but still needed resuscitation and rehabilitation .The whole family life changed (irreversibly).
Thanks again for sharing this great video 🙂
