If a horse keeps its ears strictly laid backwards, makes a long neck and snaps at you, so that you can see its teeth, there is unfortunately no chance to form friendship with it. Perhaps it has one single owner since already a very long time to whom it is truly devoted. This is why the horse does not allow any other person approaching it more closely.

The talk was about horses that live in a stable and can look outside through open shutters. When horses are grazing on a pasture in company with other horses, it is rather seldom that they come to the fence where you stand and like to caress one of them. However, you can attract their attention by clicking with the tongue. If you have a bag with apples or carrots with you, there is a high possibility that they come over to you. Take care that there is enough for all of them so that you can fairly distribute your gift and let everyone have a goody. Otherwise there will be a quarrel among the horses and that is surely not what you wanted. While they are chewing delightfully you can caress them comfortingly and talk to them in soft words. Is your present used up they retire again to continue grazing. Full of appreciation they might altogether perform a marvellous gallop for you, thus making sure you will return, because you admire them. Several praising words from you for the show, they will certainly keep in mind.
