  • Welcome to the blog world of human-horse interactions for the last 9,000 years. I’ll share thoughts on my current and past teaching and research activities focused on the conjoined worlds of humans and horses. I hope some of the topics stimulate your thinking to the point of responding and sharing your views.
  • While our main focus is human-horse interactions, feel free to jump in with other species & issues as well. I would love to involve people from all walks of life in the fascinating exploration of inter-species relations.
  • In addition, you are welcome to post questions that I may or may not be able to answer, but I’ll give it a shot. I hope this somewhat more informal format will encourage constructive dialogue, just as we strive to achieve in the classroom.
