ATL Virtual Forum Series - Janet L. Jones

Event recording will remain available to watch on-demand until July 31.

Six neurological reasons for Horses’ excellence as therapy animals.

Horses bring extraordinary sensitivity and perceptual awareness into therapeutic and learning environments — but how do we ensure our work is grounded in neuroscience, ethical horsemanship, and best-practice welfare standards?
In this powerful session, Dr Jones will explore:
🐴 The neuroscience of how horses think, learn and perceive the world
🧠 What equine cognition means for therapy and learning programs
🌱 Ethical integration of horses into clinical, educational and wellbeing settings
⚖️ Balancing client outcomes with horse welfare
🔎 Practical implications for practitioners across animal-assisted services
