Horses Think

Horses Think is an informational website exploring how horses perceive the world, learn, communicate and live alongside one another. Its content focuses on explaining the animal’s perspective rather than offering advice on training, riding, handling or veterinary care. The site is organised into seven sections: The Eye, Blind Spots, Response Time, Learning, Signals, The Herd and Contested Ground, with an index of 22 entries.

Topics include horses’ nearly panoramic vision, limited depth perception outside the forward binocular field, and blind spots near the muzzle and behind the body. Other entries examine startle responses, flight distance, habituation, association, facial and postural signals, and social relationships in herds. Horses Think distinguishes observations from interpretations and notes when scientific questions remain contested, including claims about dominance and hierarchy. The site also introduces its approach to research and the people who support it, describing an interest in field behaviour, perception and what horses notice.
