Tell Me More About This Event
An interdisciplinary educational experience hosted at Colorado State University - Department of Animal Sciences, bringing together equine neuroscience and functional anatomy to support thoughtful, ethical, and evidence-informed horsemanship.
Dr. Steve Peters ā€” Horse Brain Science
Dr. Peters provides clear, science-based insight into how the equine brain processes stress, learning, and behavior. His teaching emphasizes understanding why horses respond as they do, translating neuroscience into practical concepts applicable to handling, training, and ethical horsemanship.
Jillian R. Kreinbring, M.S. ā€”Ā JK InspiredĀ
Ms. Kreinbring presents functional anatomy through a structured, informed eye-development lens, focusing on posture, movement, and functional structure relationships within the horse. Her instruction supports movement in the ridden horse examining posture and movement patterns, designed to enhance observational skill and deepen understanding of how structure influences function.
