Welcome To Hidden Horses.
Horse Keeping for the 21st Century and the Beyond
This website as been developed to help horse owners around the world discover a
modern understanding of horses based on science and new thinking. This knowledge
then forms the basis of new ways of managing and training horses that are appropriate
to the new millennium. Despite the human science behind it, much of the thinking
here is actually based on giving back to the horse the right to be the animal nature
always intended it to be. This does not mean however, that we will cease to enjoy
our relationship with the horse, in fact we will deepen and enhance that relationship
because we will have deepened and enhanced our understanding of both our horses and
ourselves.
Positive Reinforcement Training.
PRT is a term which covers all types of training that are based on the behavioural law of positive reinforcement, (see my book Hidden Horses for a full definition and explanation of this term). PRT techniques include many methods such as target training,clicker training and body language techniques. MORE>>
Hidden Horses originally developed from a series of blogs that I began to write in 2009 based on the idea of keeping horses in a more naturalistic way, placing understanding and respect for the horse as an animal at the centre of the management routine. These ideas eventually expanded into a book. within this site you will find much more information on this new thinking. It is my ambition for this thinking to become the new standard for keeping horses in the 21st Century. MORE>>

Chapter 1: The Truth about Horses
I wrote this book for everyone who wants to know about horses. I deliberately did not set out to write a science book, neither did I write it entirely for adults. My idea was that this book, although it contains many scientific references and terms, should still be something that any child of eleven or twelve years of age should be able to pick up and read and understand; for, as one of my teachers once said,. “'What we understand, we will never forget”. Michel Thomas, Linguist.
All my life I have been fascinated by how humans behave when they are around animals, I suppose it goes back to my childhood, my father was a vet and so my childhood home was above a busy London veterinary hospital, complete with a daily stream of animals and their owners, - each case with a story to tell.
I can't remember when I first began to wonder about why humans did the things they did to animals, perhaps it was a result of being exposed, at too young an age, to tragic cases of animal (and human) suffering or equally, perhaps it was the many wonderful occasions when the relationship between human and animal led to a positive and happy outcome. It may have been a mixture of both of these things; but I do know that everything came together in my young life, when I met my first horse.
