Institute for Advanced Equine Studies

Hello Daphne and Kerry wanted to thank you for this excellent presentation. I’m looking so forward to the next one.! Thus is a fabulous webinar diving into the emotional network of the horse’s world of perception. If you wonder why your horse does certain things, how his brain is wired and why they respond to certain stimuli in different ways as individuals or as groups in wild herds or domestic, and how domestication affects the herd dynamic and the individual responses of the Horse you must watch this webinar! Personally what was great for me is that I’ve already been having all these thoughts and feelings about horses and their emotions and Kerry is making it so much clearer to me and I’m so grateful he has done all this work identifying behaviors and I can’t wait to learn more. I worked with horses myself for over 30 years doing the bodywork and podiatry work, but also riding and training my own horses over the last 40 years. I have always used consideration about their states of emotions in all of my interactions with horses. Anyone wanting to work with horses should have this knowledge because how can you be a fair and trustworthy leader, partner or trainer if you don’t understand these sensitive and amazingly intuitive animals. respectfully, Christine Taylor
