When a horse gently brings his head even slightly in your direction, it is affection and acknowledgement (unless you are holding a treat in your hand or pocket, then it is probably about the treat). The low, soft ânickeringâ sounds they make at each other are other ways they show affection. However, love is the great carrot and the great treat. Real, unconditional love is the best form of affection and the greatest gift we can bring to our horses.
platitude - a trite or obvious remark. banality, cliche, commonplace, bromide. comment, remark, input - a statement that expresses a personal opinion or belief or adds information; from time to time she contributed a personal comment on his account. truism - an obvious truth.
