Horse Brain, Human Brain was one of the first books I read when I was trying to understand horses better. So when I had the chance to sit down with its author, Janet Jones, for the podcast, I was pretty excited.
Janet is a neuroscientist, horsewoman, and the author of her new book, A Horse's World.
We talked about trust, fear, learning, the horse's sensory system, and some of the things horses notice that humans often miss. One thing that really stood out to me was this:
Dogs tend to give their trust freely. Horses make us earn it.
Whether you live with horses, train them, compete with them, or simply enjoy being around them, I think you'll find plenty to think about in this conversation.
I hope you enjoy it.
