In July 2019, three recognized equine professionals joined together to share and explore their perspectives of equine neuroscience and show in real time what is going on inside the horse’s brain to create a particular action or response. Over two days, the experts shared ideas with 80 attendees at the inaugural seminar at Happy Dog Ranch in Colorado.
stephen Peters, PsyD, a lifelong horseman and human neuropsychologist, started to explore neurologically based horsemanship from his work in human memory and brain health.
Stephen Peters, PsyD, a lifelong horseman and human neuropsychologist who specializes in brain function and memory, co-authored Evidence-Based Horsemanship with Martin Black, a clinician who has worked with thousands of horses. Their book connects equine brain function research with horsemanship methods that mesh with the horse’s brain makeup.
