In this illuminating book, cognitive scientist and horsewoman, Janet Jones, describes human and equine brains in collaboration and explores how the horse thinks, as well as human brain function during athletic mastery. Mental abilities (seeing, learning, fearing, trusting and focusing) are discussed from both human and horse perspective.

Whether you're a seasoned rider or just beginning your equestrian journey, Horse Brain, Human Brain offers a revolutionary approach to training, understanding, and connecting with horses. Written by cognitive scientist and lifelong horsewoman Janet L. Jones, this breakthrough book bridges the gap between two species by explaining how equine and human brains truly work-and how they can work together.

Through clear, accessible language and vivid real-life stories, Dr. Jones explores how horses perceive the world, learn, feel, and respond to their environments. You'll discover how to train more effectively by working with your horse's natural instincts, not against them. Learn why traditional trial-and-error training often fails, how to reduce human mistakes, and how mutual communication leads to stronger bonds and safer, more successful riding.
