Randy Rieman on Evidence-Based Horsemanship Most horsemen agree that timing, feel, and balance are the holy trinity of horsemanship. They are also key elements of this book. The timing couldnt be better. We are in the midst of a revival of interest in horsemanship. Read more From Chapter Three of Evidence-Based Horsemanship Horses are motor sensory creatures. Their brains tell us so. The brain area in which sensations are processed is referred to as the somatic sensory cortex. If we consider the somatic sensory cortex as a map, its largest areas would represent the most sensitive body areas because these brain areas are most densely-packed with sensory nerves.... Key Senses of a Horse Vibrissae This photo is of horses not only smelling each other but feeling each other with the muzzle area to get a better sense and to get to know each other better. We can see the horse on the left is more confident by his head being in a more natural position, and the horse on the right not showing as much confidence by reaching out with its nose reserving the opportunity to retract if it felt threatened. Vision An eye wide open with wrinkles above it and with the eyelid blinking rapidly could indicate an alert horse interested in something and be a positive sign for us, or it could indicate a frightened horse that could be a negative sign for us. But taking into account what the ears, muzzle, and other indicators may tell us, we can determine what the horse may be thinking. Hearing Here is a horse utilizing his sense of hearing by his ears being forward, his head elevated and at an angle that gives his eyes the best visibility. It means hes interested but not threatened by what hes focusing on because his muzzle area is not tight and his nostrils are not wide open. Smell The large round nostril means the horse is taking in all the air it can. It could be for one of two reasons: the horse has exhausted its oxygen supply in which case the lips would be relaxed as this photo indicates. The other reason would be that the horse may not be exhausted but is taking in large quantities of air, analyzing through its sense of smell something it may be threatened by.

As a horse brain researcher, he has given numerous Equine Brain Science seminars/presentations throughout the U. S. and Canada and performed many horse brain dissections for students. He is the co-author with Martin Black of Evidence-Based Horsemanship. An evidence-based approach to horsemanship involves assessing and integrating scientific findings to inform decisions and create best practices in horsemanship. Scientific findings in the neurofunctioning of the horses's brain and its application will increase one's ability to understand and read horses.
