Horses communicate with us and each other through their body language, including specific areas called the 15 Buttons of Horse Speak®. These interactive zones on their body each have a unique emotional and physical meaning. By learning to recognize and respond to these buttons, we can better understand their intentions—whether they're expressing emotions, seeking support, or resolving conflict.


Using this shared language at VTRA creates consistency in how we communicate with the horses. When everyone is on the same page, it helps the horses feel more secure and strengthens the bond we build with them.
