I thought this would be a fun exercise to try on the blog. It is taken from the Eagala/Non-predatory leadership workshop I wrote about back in January. If you would like to read that post here’s the link http://fdhorsetraining.blogspot.com/2014/01/interpretation-exercise.html
The exercise is about how we interpret things differently as individuals. An interpretation of the horses in the photo would be for example, a statement like “these horses are sad” or “These horses are happy” we really have no way of knowing if they are either of those things.
Here’s how it will work. If as a group of readers, each of us says a observation about the horses in the picture we can all agree on as a group, write it in the comments area. And anyone can say they agree or disagree with that statement. The goal is that we can all agree as a group with the statement. It is a herd harmony exercise.
I’ll start by making an observation about the horses that I think is true. I see a chestnut horse with a white marking on his face. Do you agree or disagree? Get the exercise. Don’t be shy give it a try!
I wanted to let you all know that the new blog is at this link http://fdhorsemanship.com/welcome/blogs/ and you can subscribe to it on the side bar in this blog on the upper right form to get the NEW blog posts emailed to you.

Two horses standing on the road, one on the shoulder
I agree with that does everyone else?
I agree except in the UK we would say verge not shoulder
the three horses are close together
I agree with you Susan anyone else?
They look like a group of three wild horses. I don’t see any fences. Two are standing on the road and the grey one is off the road but facing into the small group. They look comfortable as if they have done this many times before.
Barbara I agree with some of what you said but I think the wild part and the comfortable would be seen as interpretations as technically they could be domestic and we don’t know if they are comfortable or not. Anyone else want to weigh in?
I agree there are no fences
I see three horses, and one of them is a grey bay.
Kathy I agree!
None of the horses are wearing tack
I agree Vanessa! Hi how are you and your ponies?
I agree
none of the horses are wearing tack
I see Siamese chestnut horses co-joined by the head with two sets of ears : ) Or… I see three horses with long hooves, one is resting a hind leg
Haha Bek I agree!
I agree
