Tonight! Thank you to ENSW for hosting ☺️

Tonight is the night.

At 7:00pm NSW time, Dr Stephen Peters joins us live for the Horse Brain Science webinar.

We’ve spent the past few weeks exploring just some of the ideas behind his work: the pause, internal locus of control, relief versus release, nervous-system regulation, solution-seeking horses, and the extraordinary amount of information our horses are taking in from us.

Tonight, we get to go much deeper.

Dr Peters has reviewed the questions submitted by our audience and woven many of the recurring themes into his presentation. He has also selected several questions to answer directly, and if time allows we hope to include some further interaction at the end.

A few reminders before we begin: Please log in around 5 minutes early. We will be starting promptly at 7:00pm.

We have a lot to get through in 90 minutes, and while we are joining at 7pm, Dr

Peters will be meeting with us at around 2:00am his time, so we are incredibly grateful for his generosity in making this conversation possible.

This educational event is FREE for all Equestrian Australia members.

Registration remains open until the presentation begins.

Everyone who registers will also receive a YouTube link to the recording after the event, so if you can’t join us live, you can still register and watch afterwards.

If you have registered but have not received your access link, please contact Equestrian NSW at [email protected].

If your horse feels safe beside a friend, at the stable or back in their paddock, can they learn to take that feeling somewhere else?

Most of us have met the horse who relaxes the moment they turn toward home.
Or becomes anxious when their friend disappears.
Or feels completely different in the arena than they do in their paddock.

We might call them herd bound. Barn sour. Nappy. Distracted.

Dr Stephen Peters invites us to look at something different:
Where does the horse currently find safety, and can we help them learn that safety is portable?

Rather than always becoming the horse’s safe place ourselves, Peters talks about helping the horse develop the ability to regulate within their own nervous system.

To meet something challenging. Become aroused. And discover that they can find their way back down again.

Imagine what that could mean for the horse leaving home for the first time. Entering the competition arena. Separating from a stablemate. Or simply walking away from the gate.
Can we help our horses learn to take safety with them?

Dr Stephen Peters joins us live for Horse Brain Science on 29 October.

Attendance is free for all Equestrian Australia members.
