Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Horses can make facial expressions just like humans

It has been 5,000 years since horses became human companions like dogs and cats. To live with creatures that have numbers of facial and vocal expressions like humans, horses seem to have learned to read what humans are feeling from their expressions. They seem to understand an emotional state of a particular human and remember it. So, when the person shows up later again, the horse’s reaction is relevant to the previous expression of the person. If you want to be liked by a horse, you’d better be nice to him just like your friend.

Another finding from a recent research shows that they make as many as 17 facial expressions, three more than chimpanzees and only 10 fewer than humans. These expressions include “chin raiser,” “sharp lip puller,” “lip pucker” and “jaw drop.” If you learn their facial expressions and show your emotional states clearly, you might be able to communicate with horses quite extensively.

Enjoy reading and learning how sensitive horses are with humans.
