Making Horse Sense: Kari Weil on the Language Between Humans and Horses

Animal communication researcher Kari Weil, University Professor of Letters at Wesleyan University, shares insights on the language between humans and horses.

To learn to ride a horse is to learn a language we don’t realize we are already speaking.  In this talk Kari Weil, a professor at Wesleyan University and part-time resident of Monterey, will discuss the language between horse and human. She has researched animal communication and combines it with her own personal experience riding horses, including those at Sunny Rose Farm.  Her conclusion is that to make sense of horses, we need to be more in touch with our own senses.

Weil is author of Precarious Partners: Horses and Their Humans in Nineteenth-Century France and Thinking Animals: Why Animal Studies Now.
