Summary:
"
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. And, by meeting horses halfway, we not only save valuable training time and improve performance, we achieve other goals, too. 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; and we reduce the
human
mistakes we often make while working with them. 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"--Publisher.
