Shoutout to the veteran farrier who showed me how to quiet a skittish horse with just my voice.

Question if voice alone works for every skittish horse, your mileage may vary.

Right? Had a horse that would just shut down with voice commands alone. Some days nothing worked but patience and body language.

Is it really that deep though? Horses aren't robots you can program with one set of commands. Sometimes a quiet voice helps, other times it's about how you move. Feels like we overthink this stuff and make it sound like rocket science when it's just reading a scared animal.
