Exercise 7

Below are two pieces of advice from a horse whispering forum. Use reported orders to summarise their contents (3–4 sentences each).

~Jane78

I’m begging everyone to please stop breaking horses. Don’t try to make them submit! A horse will never listen to you if you’re being harsh. Horses are very intelligent animals and they can sense when you aren’t calm and patient. Instead of being dominant, try to communicate!

~HorseFan90

People think horse whispering is hard, but it’s anything but. The first step is to be patient. The second step is to be gentle. The third step is to communicate in a calm manner. That’s literally all it takes. Horse whispering is not science, it’s just common sense! Just be a reasonable person and the horses will listen to you.
