If you read the title, you might wonder why is this a discovery because every horse person knows that horses are able to read our emotions but the main reason why I wanted to bring it here was not because of what they are trying to prove but for the methodology used to prove it.
Scientists conducted an experiment with photographs of male humans showing different emotions and then they waited for the horses’ response. They react positively to smile face and negatively to people who look concerned, stressed or angry. Not only horses but pet animals, in general, have the ability to read human emotions.
Sometimes, they can sense things that even us humans can’t and I am talking about the hidden emotions inside someone’s body. They will most likely not be welcoming to people who are hiding their emotions or who have negativity inside them. It feels like they can sense the energy, something that humans don’t.
As I said at the beginning, I know that you are all informed or have personal experience on the fact that horses can read human emotions so I would like you not to comment on the results more than the approach to get to the results. Do you have any interesting story when your animal friend has sensed something in you that even family members or friends haven’t? If yes, then you are more than welcome to share your story with our community.
