YouTube Channel: Equine Science Talk International
Thinking Horse is proud to be a contributor to the Equine Science Talk International YouTube channel. Here you’ll find videos on a wide range of topics related to the mission of Thinking Horse, “to spread awareness of the horse’s world.”
PODCASTS
“What one-sidedness reveals about horses” (English)
Konstanze and I chat with Celina Skogan of Equidemia about laterality in horses, and how different processing on each side of the horse’s brain is becoming a hot topic for riders and trainers.

FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES
These are links to some of our friends and colleagues around the world, as well as to people and organisations who have influenced Thinking Horse.
Elizabeth Haffner/Horsetrainingsolutions and Anne Beyerly/Horsetalk
Elizabeth, Anne and Kate are all students of Richard Thompson, whose extraordinary understanding of the horse’s mind inspired us to become trainers in the same style.
Buck Brannaman is the man who set Richard on the path to better ways to work with horses, and who learned his skills from the men widely considered to be the fathers of modern natural horsemanship, Tom Dorrance, Bill Dorrance and Ray Hunt.
Communicating better with your horse is not only about understanding how the horse thinks, it’s also about learning to use your own body lightly and effectively from the saddle. Centered Riding, we feel, complements the principles of Thinking Horse perfectly.
Konstanze Krüger is one of Europe’s very few dedicated equine behaviour researchers. Thanks to her help and encouragement we were able to publish our ground breaking study on visual laterality in horses, that is to say the differences in behaviour between the left and right sides of the horse. We are continuing to work together on a number of reseach projects.
Isabel Marr is another colleague and friend from the research field. We have worked together on several studies, as well as the Equine Science Talk International YouTube channel.
