Evidence-Based Horsemanship

Unlock the science behind better horsemanship. Evidence-Based Horsemanship bridges neuroscience and real-world training. Co-authored by Dr. Stephen Peters—a leading equine neuroscientist—and renowned horseman Martin Black, this book empowers readers to: Understand how a horse’s brain develops and processes information, enabling training that aligns with how horses naturally learn Combine feel, timing, and balance—the “holy trinity” of horsemanship—for more effective training Learn why short, age‑appropriate training sessions resonate better with young horses and how a horse’s sensory world affects behavior Gain insights that enhance trust, improve communication, and deepen the horse–human bond across disciplines (e.g., Western, dressage, trail riding) With practical photos, clear explanations, and a helpful glossary, this approachable paperback makes science accessible and actionable for any horse enthusiast. “Most horsemen agree that timing, feel, and balance are the holy trinity of horsemanship. They are also key elements of this book. The timing couldn’t be better. We are in the midst of a revival of interest in horsemanship. People are hungry for factual information and intelligent conversation. The feel of the book is genuinely refreshing and original. It is unpretentious, straight forward and informative. The balance is brilliant: scientific facts and the empirical evidence to support those facts assembled by two highly respected professionals in their respective disciplines.” — Randy Rieman
