You don't have to be a horse whisperer or know the equine language to talk to a horse, but it helps to know a few things about horse behavior. A horse doesn't care what you say as much as how and when you say it.

on 1/31/2008 This works. I haven't been around horses a lot, but I found one loose, panicky, with no tack, on a side road by a freeway. It was a blind hill, and he could have been hit by a car at any moment. A lot of white to the eye says a horse is scared, and this horse was flashing a lot of white.
My husband stopped traffic and called for help while I used these techniques. I was able to lead him off the road, by his mane, to a safe spot until help came. By the time someone came with a halter, he was making chewing motions.
BTW, you'll see those same chewing, smacking motions in a happy dog.
