Empathy for the horse is the capacity of a person to be able to feel what the horse feels,

to read a situation in the same way and to have an understanding of what the horse is going to do in response to that situation. That’s empathy , or feeling with the horse and it’s really an effective way of learning from the horse. Even before the horse does whatever he’s about to do, a person who’s this way (empathetic) is going to understand the reason a horse does something. It takes time to get that deep knowledge of horses.
