Themed weekend – sensory systems

Have you ever wondered how a horse truly experiences the world? What it feels, hears, sees, smells, and how all that information comes together in its body and behavior? During the Theme Weekend – Sensory Systems, we’ll dive deep into the horse’s senses over the course of three days.

Alongside five experts, we investigate how horses perceive, process, and integrate sensory information.
We go beneath the surface to reveal what truly occurs inside the horse’s body — beyond what behaviour alone shows. Why does a horse react the way it does? What can it physically achieve — or struggle with — and why?
Discover how senses and body organization are key to understanding these responses.

Note: the replays will be available for six months

Description

The online themed weekend – sensory systems, takes you on a three-day exploration of how a horse truly perceives its world, from anatomy to awareness. This weekend is entirely dedicated to understanding the senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, and the organization of the body.

What makes this weekend special is the connection between anatomical structure, neurological processing, and functional behavior. With the help of exclusive dissection images, you’ll literally see how the senses are structured and how this relates to perception and movement.

Over the course of the weekend, international and national experts explore each sense through their unique expertise, helping you understand not just what occurs, but why it occurs and how it impacts the horse’s perception, interactions, and performance.

For professionals and passionate horse enthusiasts alike, this weekend delivers knowledge, nuance, and perspective that goes far beyond what you can see from behaviour alone.
