Unlock the secrets of better horsemanship through the power of neuroscience—transform your partnership with your horse from the inside out.Whether you're a seasoned rider or just beginning your equestrian journey, Horse Brain, Human Brain offers a revolutionary approach to training, understanding, and connecting with horses. Written by cognitive scientist and lifelong horsewoman Janet L. Jones, this breakthrough book bridges the gap between two species by explaining how equine and human brains truly work—and how they can work together.
Through clear, accessible language and vivid real-life stories, Dr. Jones explores how horses perceive the world, learn, feel, and respond to their environments. You'll discover how to train more effectively by working with your horse’s natural instincts, not against them. Learn why traditional trial-and-error training often fails, how to reduce human mistakes, and how mutual communication leads to stronger bonds and safer, more successful riding.
Discover…
- Insights into how horses see, hear, think, and feel—compared to humans
- Science-backed strategies to improve learning, focus, and trust
- Real-life examples of horse-human interaction, from brilliant breakthroughs to surprising miscommunications
- Practical applications for every discipline and skill level
This isn’t just another training manual—it’s a transformative exploration of the horse-human relationship, grounded in neuroscience and built on mutual respect

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Janet Jones, PhD, applies brain research to the training of horses and riders. She earned her Ph.D. from UCLA and taught the neuroscience of perception, language, memory, and thought for 23 years. Janet trained horses at a large stable for many years, and later ran a successful horse training business of her own. She has schooled hundreds of green or difficult horses and competed in hunter, jumper, halter, reining, and western pleasure disciplines (janet-jones.com).
