Human Horse

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.

Hoof Beats transforms our understanding of both horses and humanity's ancient past and asks us to consider what our relationship with horses means for the future of humanity and the world around us.

In her new book Princess and Magic Horse, Regina Abt-Baechi presents the psychological interpretation of the three fairy tales The Magic Horse, Ferdinand Faithful and Ferdinand Unfaithful as well as The Goosegirl. Her interpretation is based on the earlier short interpretations by Barbara Hannah and Marie-Louise von Franz. The author ponders carefully over each motif and symbol of the fairy tales. She thereby focuses on the archetypal basis of the psyche, connecting it to examples of typical individual experiences. Thus the meaning of the whole fairy tale emerges more and more clearly. ...

Most people who care deeply about their horse are trying to do it right. They’ve learned the methods. They’ve followed the guidance. They’ve been careful, conscientious, and responsible. And yet, somewhere along the way, something starts to feel off. You’re paying attention, but not to what you’re actually sensing. You’re following a process, but you feel slightly disconnected while you do it. You notice moments where something in you hesitates, tightens, or questions — and you move past it, because you don’t want to get it wrong. This book looks at what happens in those ...

This book brings you into a moment many people recognise with their horse — the moment where nothing obvious is wrong, yet something inside you tightens. Your body becomes alert. Your attention sharpens. You carry on, whether you call it fear or not, because you believe you’re being sensible, responsible, and doing the right thing. Pushing Through Fear explores a pattern that is deeply normalised in the horse world. Sometimes it shows up as fear. Sometimes it shows up as vigilance, control, or determination. Often it looks like good horsemanship — staying steady, pushing on, not ...

This book examines what it means to bring horses into therapeutic contexts without reducing them to instruments, metaphors, or extensions of human needs. At its core is the insistence that the horse is a subject, an autonomous being whose agency and integrity must be respected. The text unfolds as both critique and proposal: it questions the assumptions and practices that have long shaped equine-assisted work, while offering a different way of seeing, observing, and relating. Early chapters establish the ethical stance that underlies the whole project. Horses are not there to heal or to ...

Fifty-six million years ago, the earliest equid walked the earth-and beginning with the first-known horse-keepers of the Copper Age, the horse has played an integral part in human history.
