Phyche of the Bio Horse

In this workshop you will learn how to make pony play feel more authentic to the biological horse. Ideal for ponies and handlers with no prior equestrian experience, the class explains why horses move and react the way they do and how to translate those mannerisms into your pony persona or handling style. Topics include horse body language (ears, head, tail, posture), natural gaits and transitions, herd and flight/avoidance instincts, and common startle and calming behaviors. You will practice movement, cues, and timing to create believable, safe interactions and learn how to blend authenticity with participant comfort. No previous horse experience required.
