MOM: did you ever want a pony growing up? was that just me? is that a British thing?
ME: I wanted to have a psychic connection to a horse. we would be BFFs and fight evil together, probably. also once people realized we were soul-bonded, it wouldn't matter if I "owned" the horse because capitalism and concepts of ownership and property would not be able to keep us apart.
MOM: ... ... ...
ME: does that mean yes?

I kind of just want to learn to speak horse but do not necessarily feel the need to ride myself? Like in the way that I'm like "can I learn how to read seal body language, and also squirrels, and and and"

Save up and visit dancinghorse? She's doing a horse camp for writers and people who just want to meet horses; including yoga sessions and body language and general communication/herd behaviour stuff.

I'm sure there must be other people doing this kind of thing, but it sounds as if this is the kind of thing you're looking for.

I have no advice for seals or squirrels. Some of the squirrels in London are known for waylaying innocent passers-by and extorting treats with menace...
