[THE SCIENCE OF THE HORSE 🔬] : 🇦🇺 Andrew McLean, Founder of Equitation Science International and expert in equine learning : Science and Modern Riding
Have you ever wondered how horses actually learn?How our training methods shape — or sometimes limit — their experience?Or maybe you've found yourself questioning not just what we do, but how and why we train horses the way we do?These questions are at the heart of today's conversation. In a moment where the FEI is beginning to review its rules, the idea of “social license” becomes more urgent, and scientific knowledge is increasingly accessible, horse welfare is no longer just a side note — it’s central to the future of equestrianism.Our guest today is someone who’s been shaping that future for decades: Andrew McLean.Former championship-level rider, clinical ethologist and expert in equine learning, Andrew is the founder of Equitation Science International and currently collaborates with the FEI to advance their commitment to equine welfare.In this episode, he walks us through the evolution of equitation science, why understanding learning theory matters, how training impacts welfare, and what needs to change — urgently — in the way we ride, judge and manage horses.***** Visit the Equitation Science International for more info : https://esi-education.com/ Todos los libros del podcast aquí : https://amzn.to/49MOno4__ 👉 Descubre todos los productos de Horsesite en www.horsesite.es y disfruta de un 10 % de descuento en tu pedido con el código exclusivo THEMODERNRIDER10.
