Important to note: A horses Horsenality is determined by 4 things:
Spirit Level- low, medium, high
Innate Characteristics- how they are naturally in the pasture/as a baby
Learned Behaviour- good or bad
Environment- influence of changes, people, places and things
I freaking LOVE Horsenalities!!! I urge people to look more into this fascinating concept!!! My horsemanship has gone to the next level because I a more aware of how to approach different horses. I have also attached links to some supporting documents :)
To support you I have compiled a list of some very informative clips and documents :)

How to fill in the horsenality chart??
ReplyDeleteHey, good question!! Just print out (or if you are fancy you can do it in adobe or preview on the computer) and put dots in the spaces where she has showed that behaviour. The closer to the center indicates low spirit level and further out is higher spirit level. :) The more dots in a quadrant mean the more likely they are predominantly that horsenality. I will put some pictures of Jazzy and Jewel's ones up, then you will get an idea too :)
