• Classroom work on equine and human behaviour:
  • Social structures
  • Language and theory of mind, the human specificity
  • Expressions of dominance at different levels in a herd

  • Primary intelligence and body language
  • Virtuous and vicious circles
  • Greater effect from lesser stimulus
  • Feedback theory
  • Limitations of logic
  • Sensitivity to extremely subtle signals
    

These courses will appeal to anyone with an interest in horses, and will prove especially rewarding to students in life sciences, social sciences and humanities.
