Horse Speak® Academy
ARE YOU R.E.A.D.I.?
Horse Speak is based on how horses communicate with one another through body language, timing, space, and movement.
At the heart of this language are Maternal Care Messages (MCM) - the signals horses use to establish safety, soothe nervous systems, and support learning within the herd.
From Decades of observation, teaching, and research emerged READI.
Regulated - Equine - Attunement - for Dynamic - Interaction
READI is not a training method.
It is a way to understand when a horse is READI - physically, emotionally, and neurologically - to participate.
When readiness is present, learning is fluid and cooperation feels natural.
When it's missing, even the best techniques fall apart.
Horse Speak wants to help you get READI.
We have made you a map that offers a practical, humane guide for working with the horse's nervous system - so communication is clearer, safer, and grounded in trust.

"Horse Speak Changes Everything."
I thought I had a Clue By: Wendy D. from Massachusetts
I have been riding and caring for horses for over 50 years and I didn’t have a clue which my new horse has made painfully clear.
I bought an upper level dressage, ex-bullfighting Lusitano who ended up having PTSD.
I had never met a horse like him.
I tried many of the usual things….vet checks, body workers, trainers, both dressage and natural horsemanship in person and online, and clicker training.
He was defensive which led to aggression (I had to carry a stick when leading him because what felt like it was out of nowhere, he would start attacking me.
I now know, because I am learning Horse Speak, it was because I was out of position.
We now enjoy long walks together through woods and fields with my dogs and he can let me know if I need to change my position for his comfort), he was angry, explosive and reactive (I learned I wasn’t providing him with safety and protection messages which Sharon has taught me how to do and we can now work through his big emotions without him becoming dangerous),and he is incredibly sensitive to energy (he was impossible to groom because he didn’t want to be touched and would bite and kick.
Horse Speak has taught me how to scan myself and be more aware of myself and my energy and he now enjoys grooming). I was struggling to find a way to connect and help him.
He would do his job but was very tense, spooky and unhappy. I was incredibly frustrated and was considering selling him.
Luckily, I found Sharon, Laura and Horse Speak. They are amazing and I can go on and on about them. Watch anything you can with Sharon and you’ll want to learn from her. I loved the books, the depth of knowledge and the lessons. Sharon is a fun and fabulous teacher. She has consistently over delivered, inspired and impressed. Learning Horse Speak has changed everything.
It has educated, informed and transformed me and therefore my horse is changing.
It is not a training method but uplifts any training you do.
From Sharon and Laura, the online courses, the books, webinars, workshops and helpful zoom calls I’ve learned to use my empathy, energy and presence to create safe and peaceful interactions with my horse.
I’ve learned to listen and respond accordingly as he is speaking.
I’m now understanding him in a way I’ve never understood another horse and I’ve had many great ones.
