"Horse Head: Brain Science & Other Insights is an essential and entertaining guide to the horse's mind. This book, with contributions from Dr. Steve Peters, co-author of Evidence-Based Horsemanship, introduces readers to fascinating neuroscience, connecting what we see from the saddle to what's happening on a microscopic scale, in the horse's brain. Additionally, HorseHead offers enjoyable chapters on best practices and essays on the journeys of lives with horses." -- Back cover.
In his work, photographer Frederik Buyckx (b. 1984) explores remote areas where nature can be overwhelmingly beautiful and unpredictably harsh. In doing so, he systematically sounds out the ultimate boundaries of the elements. 0Encounters with unique people are often the occasion for a photo series. In his award-winning series Horse Head, he documents in an inimitable way ? and on horseback himself ? the isolated lifestyle of semi-nomadic shepherds in Kyrgyzstan. 00Frederik Buyckx is the Sony Photographer of the Year and the winner of the Lima Photo Prize, and a finalist of the World Press Photo Award and the ZEISS Photography Award.00Exhibition: Mechelen cultural centre, Belgium (12.10.2019-05.01.2020).

Few other nations have undergone as profound a change in their social, political, and cultural life as Mongolia did in the twentieth century. Beginning the century as a largely rural, nomadic, and tradition-oriented society, the nation was transformed by the end of this century into a largely urban, post-industrial, and cosmopolitan one. This study seeks to understand the effects that Western-inspired modernity has had on the nature of cultural tradition in the country, focusing in particular on development of the morin khuur or "horse-head fiddle," a two-stringed bowed folk lute that features a horse’s head carved into its crown. As well as being one of the most popular instruments in the contemporary national musical culture, it has also become an icon of Mongolian national identity and a symbol of the nation’s ancient cultural heritage. In its modern form, however, the horse-head fiddle reflects the values of a modern, cosmopolitan society that put it profoundly at odds with those of the traditional society. In so doing, it also reflects the cosmopolitan nature of the nation’s contemporary national musical culture.
A collection of Maddy Butcher's work over several years. The loose parameter is "life with horses." This book leads with the more academic and challenging research-supported topics. The later chapters consist of essays more reflective and fun in nature. Some are drawn from mainstream journalistic work, like opinion pieces for the Washington Post.

Horse Speak is not a training method or technique—it is a practical system for “listening” and “talking” to horses in their language, instead of expecting them to comprehend ours. Horse Speak can be used by anyone who works with horses, whether riding instructor, colt starter, recreational rider, or avid competitor. It promises improved understanding of what a horse is telling you, and provides simple replies you can use to tell him that you “hear” him, you “get it,” and you have ideas you want to share with him, too. The result? Time with your horse will be full of what horse trainer and equine-assisted learning instructor Sharon Wilsie of Wilsie Way Horsemanship calls Conversations, and soon the all-too-common misunderstandings that occur between horse and human will evolve into civil discussions with positive and progressive results! Learn Horse Speak in 12 easy steps; understand equine communication via breath and body language; and discover the Four Gs of Horse Speak: Greeting, Going Somewhere, Grooming, and Gone. Practice regulating your intensity, and sample dozens of ready-made Conversations with your horse, as step-by-step templates and instructional color photographs walk you through the eye-opening process of communicating on a whole new level.
