Janet Jones PhDHorse Brain, Human Brain: The Neuroscience of Horsemanship

Great information, well written and I highly recommend. Have purchased other copies for friends and they were pleased as well.

I am back to horses in my late 50s after a 25-year break and thanks to this book I am appreciating mine in a much more informed way! Enlightening and encouraging, it was a fascinating and captivating read. It’s heavily grounded in research and supported by relatable stories. It’s one I will read again and again!

I found this book because I saw it referenced in an article and was encouraged by the reviews.I've been riding for a few years and do a lot of ground work with horses. The ground work in particular got me very interested in understanding horse behavior and psychology and I've read quite a few books on the topic before this one. I can say without hesitation that this book is best of the lot.The author has a terrific writing style that's very engaging and makes it easy reading. Rather than dumb-down technical concepts she explains them in a coherent and logical way. There's a lot of real science; this is not a touchy-feely "unicorns and rainbows" book.My only regret is that I didn't discover it when I started riding; it ought to be required reading for every new rider. Even if you are a lifelong rider, I can guarantee you'll have some "now I understand why" moments when you read this book. I know I'll reread this one many times.

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 I have a library of books on outdated and incorrect assumptions about how horses are best understood and trained.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!!!!

I’m always looking for books just teeming with equine knowledge that will help me to better understand my horse’s perspective and how I can make our cross species communication work in favor for both of us, and not just me. This has been THE best book I’ve ever read when it comes to building a partnership with horse and the fundamentals of WHY, not just how. My relationship with all horses, especially my own, has improved a lot, and has made for me being a much happier horsewoman now that I truly understand why the horses I’m working with act the way they do. So many things just click as you read more and more, it’s hard to put down. This book has been a massive help for me, and I’m recommending it to ANYONE who has horses involved in their life one way or another.

My wife is an ardent horseman, degree in equine sciences, this is right up her alley.. Bought as a Christmas present

I learned more from this book than any other horse book. A must have if you truly want to understand horses and improve your horsemanship.

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.
