Three things that can make a horse feel off.
One of them is easy to overlook.
Go give it a listen.

In this episode, Dr. Peters and I go into what's actually happening in your horse's brain.

What if "stubborn" isn't stubborn? What if the horse that stiffens up the second you swing a leg over isn't being difficult, but doing exactly what biology built him to do?

I sat down with Dr. Steve Peters, the equine neuroscientist whose research has quietly rewired everything I think about horsemanship. We went deep on the nervous system most horse owners never see: homeostasis, allostasis, pendulation, the difference between a reactive brain and a thinking brain, and what each of those actually means for how you train.

Steve lays out the science in plain language. I connect every concept back to real horse work. By the end of this one, you're not going to look at your horse the same way again.

If this conversation hits you the way it hit me the first time I dug into Steve's work, then join me on my free webinar this Sunday, May 10th at 7pm Eastern. I'm going to take everything you learn from Steve and show you exactly what to do with it. Sign up at https://www.carsonjames.com/rewire
