In reality, horse whispering is based on a simple premise, body language. Like dogs, horses are social animals that aim to please. However, because of the often strenuous and inhumane methods that some trainers use to get results, the animal's innate desire for companionship is often masked, causing the horse to turn into a problem horse. Whispering uses the horse's natural tendencies toward socialization to restore the animal's trust. Mimicking methods of discipline that horses use in the wild, the trainer uses his physical stance to either drive the horse away from him or allow it to come and connect with him. In physical terms this usually takes place in a round pen, where the trainer uses his arm movements and sometimes a rope to get the horse moving around him in a circle. The method is called gentle, because little to no physical contact is used. Instead, eye contact is heavily relied upon.
When the trainer takes an aggressive stance towards the horse, the animal will instinctively flee, feeling that it is being sent away from the herd for something it has done wrong. The horse continues to avoid the trainer until it decides to repent, and asks forgiveness by lowering its head, slowing its pace, and performing a number of other body movements that indicate its submission to the trainer. The trainer has now taken on the position as Alpha Mare in the horse's herd. Once the trainer notices that the horse has accepted its role, he changes his stance, becomes less aggressive, often by changing eye position, or even turning his shoulder to the horse. At this point, the horse's reaction can be dramatic. Ideally, the horse stops moving, turns towards the trainer, even walks to him. This moment is often referred to as joining up, hooking on, or coming in. Whichever term the trainer chooses to use, the effect is the same , a strong bond of trust and devotion that provides a foundation for further training.

Whispering to a horse doesnt mean you are actually talking to them. Its all about what your thinking, like talking to them in your head. Horses can hear you, even though you arent really talking to them. So be calm, and your horse will be calm too. Horses will listen, just by using your body language.
Good Luck!

whispering to animals means to understan them completly, study the ways other animials in the same species communicates to them like with a kitten does something wrong its mother will pick it up with its mouth and purr to it and the kitten knows that its not supposed todo that again or a dog shows it dommince by holding another down softly by the neck and growls

horses respond to subtle movements of the head, eyes, tail and muscles and is very difficult to differentiate ....Parelli is a good horse whisperer...

It's all about body language and position, not your voice.
