A Horse's World : A Neuroscientist's Journey into the Equine Mind – Janet L. Jones

Detailní popis produktu

What is the world really like from a horse’s point of view?

In A Horse’s World, neuroscientist and experienced horse trainer Janet L. Jones takes readers inside the equine mind, combining scientific knowledge with practical experience to explore how horses perceive and make sense of their environment.

The book examines the way horses use their senses, process information, learn, remember and respond to both their surroundings and the people around them. It offers a deeper understanding of behaviours that humans may easily misinterpret, showing how differently a horse’s brain can experience situations that seem simple from our perspective.

Scientific insights are brought to life through the story of True North, a young Dutch Warmblood whose experiences provide practical examples of learning, communication and adaptation. This makes the neuroscience approachable while keeping it closely connected to real life with horses.

Rather than focusing simply on how to train a horse to respond correctly, the book encourages readers to understand what may be happening behind that response. It offers a valuable perspective for anyone interested in developing more thoughtful, informed and effective interactions with horses.

An engaging choice for horse owners, riders, trainers and anyone interested in equine behaviour, cognition, learning and the horse–human relationship.
