Dr. Stephen Peters, Equine Neuroscientist May 04, 2026

Show notes

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

Your Horse Has A Need For Speed Aug 08, 2023

Riders often feel they are ensuring their safety by holding the horse back, but it’s actually the opposite. A horse will not feel safe unless he knows he can naturally and freely move without interference from the rider. For this week’s podcast, I’m gonna talk about why a little speed is important and how to get you and your horse to that point. Get more horse training at http://carsonjames.com
