Dear Horse World, It's Dr. Stephen Peters: Evidence-Based Horsemanship & the Equine Mind - Part 1

From the Navy to Neuroscience: What Horses Can Teach Us About the Brain Before he became one of the most sought-after voices in equine neuroscience, Dr. Stephen Peters lived an entirely different life — growing up between Japan and England in a military family, serving as a Navy officer, and even working at Goldman Sachs. But a personal tragedy pulled him into the world of brain science, setting him on a path that would change not just his career, but the way thousands of horse owners understand their animals. In this conversation, Dr. Stephen Peters reveals how a clinical neuroscientist’s view of the brain reshapes everything we think we know about training horses. You’ll learn: Why attention is a finite resource in young horses — and the surprising age when their brains can actually sustain it. How fear rewires the brain and why “making it happen” often comes at a long-term cost. The three essential ingredients for learning that apply to horses and humans alike. Why “dwell time” isn’t just downtime — it’s the brain’s most powerful consolidation tool. How stable design, sensory deprivation, and even whisker clipping can make a horse less capable of learning. The simple science-backed approach that can literally make a horse smarter. It’s a masterclass in connection, not control — rooted in evidence, but brought to life with the kind of cowboy wisdom you can only learn in the round pen. Whether you’ve never sat on a horse or you’ve spent a lifetime in the saddle, this episode will change how you think about brains, learning, and the delicate art of trust.  -------------------------------------- Stay tuned for part 2. -------------------------------------- If you enjoyed this conversation, don’t forget to subscribe, like, and leave a review - it really helps us grow!
