Thanks for the comments Billy. i like and agree with most of your suggestions.
To answer your question on the shoulder - yes just one shouder. it is the invitation / question. part of the process. You change the body language to show your side profile which is an opener to draw near - forward facing is aggressive / go away I am punishing you / you don't belong here. make the eyes go soft (human eyes are preditory so turn them down & to the side to be non aggressive) The one shoulder drop is very specific in horse talk it is saying:- be my friend / draw near and I will allow you into my herd and under my protection. There are lots of nauances within these moves.
Sorry too much information I know...but when i said I only speak one language that was not really true. I speak horse.
