Join us at this special opportunity to look inside the brain of your horse, and learn more about what is happening in the brain in different situations. You will also be able to see a real horse brain being dissected- and maybe even try to hold a brain in your own hands.

If you’ve ever felt a deep connection to horses, you know how remarkable these animals are—intelligent, intuitive, and often mysterious. But have you ever wondered why your horse reacts to certain situations, or how they process emotions like fear or trust?
A Horse Brain Science Clinic offers the key to unlocking these mysteries. It combines cutting-edge neuroscience with practical, hands-on experiences to give horse owners, trainers, and enthusiasts a deeper understanding of equine behavior.
One of the most fascinating aspects of these clinics is the hands-on horse brain dissection, an experience that is as enlightening as it is unforgettable.

We will be in the indoor arena for both lectures and demonstrations with horses. As it is in late August we hope the weather is nice and warm, but please dress accordingly to the weather report - you know the Danish summer…
We are setting up a screen for the presentation in the mornings, and Dr Stephen Peters will wear a microphone the whole time.
Before the brain dissection you will have the opportunity to hold the actual horse brain, and get a photography taken - not an everyday experience.
