An eye-opening game-changer of a book that sheds new light on how horses learn, think, perceive, and perform, and explains how to work with the horse’s brain instead of against it.
In this illuminating book, brain scientist and horsewoman Janet Jones describes human and equine brains working together. Using plain language, she explores the differences and similarities between equine and human ways of negotiating the world. Mental abilities—like seeing, learning, fearing, trusting, and focusing—are discussed from both human and horse perspectives. Throughout, true stories of horses and handlers attempting to understand each other—sometimes successfully, sometimes not—help to illustrate the principles.
Horsemanship of every kind depends on mutual interaction between equine and human brains. When we understand the function of both, we can learn to communicate with horses on their terms instead of ours. By meeting horses halfway, we achieve many goals.
We improve performance.We save valuable training time.We develop much deeper bonds with our horses.We handle them with insight and kindness instead of force or command.We comprehend their misbehavior in ways that allow solutions.We reduce the human mistakes we often make while working with them.
Instead of working against the horse’s brain, expecting him to function in unnatural and counterproductive ways, this book provides the information needed to ride with the horse’s brain. Each principle is applied to real everyday issues in the arena or on the trail, often illustrated with true stories from the author’s horse training experience. Horse Brain, Human Brain offers revolutionary ideas that should be considered by anyone who works with horses.

Title: The information that every horse owner should know.
Review: This book is incredibly written! It is a book that every horse owner should own and read. The information here helps one have a better understanding of the way a horse thinks. Humans should be kinder to these gentle creatures. This book explains the way their minds think and more. I highly recommend this book.

Title: Horses are not humans!
Review: This book is one of THE best books on horses vs humans (in a good way). I have a library of books on outdated and incorrect assumptions about how horses are best understood and trained. This is NOT just another one in a long line. Not at all! Science based, written in plain language, it is far and away one of the most ground breaking books to come along. Get it! Read it! Start incorporating it! If I could give it 10 stars I would!!!!

Title: A lot of great information
Review: I’ll probably need to read it several more times to let everything sink in. I’m trying to incorporate whatever I can in working with my horse and sharing with my trainers and others at the barn. Well worth reading, both for working working with horses, humans and otherwise on mammals.

Review: Iâve had horses for years. Having lost one a year ago I decided to get a youngster and see the whole process from beginning to being backed through so we had a pony with no ones elseâs baggage. I didnât want to make mistakes but found I was quite accidentally through sheer lack of knowledge. So Iâve read book after book and was no further forward. To understand how to best bond and work with a horse/pony you have to grasp their inate behaviours and understand how they process things, how they learn, how they interpret things we are asking of them. This book is the most interesting book ever, itâs full of so much easy to read information and it makes sense of absolutely everything. I now realise I bumbled my way through before with such a lack of knowledge. Do t get me wrong Iâm still learning with my ponies needs in mind but have such a greater foundation of knowledge from reading this book. I canât recommend it enough.
