Horses using tools? Yes – and it's groundbreaking. In this episode, Kate Farmer joins us, co-author of the study on tool use in horses conducted with Prof. Konstanze Krüger.

Celina Skogan speaks with Kate Farmer about research, training, ethics – and why it’s time to rethink what we believe we know.

Horse owners encounter the horse's preference for one side, laterality, every day, but many are not even aware of it. In science, this “crookedness” is divided into four aspects: the physical unstraigthness, motor and sensory laterality as well as the laterality of the brain.

Typical situations in horse training: Sometimes it turns out that horses only get spooked on one side or that mounting works easily on the left side while there are difficulties on the right side. It may also be that your horse only prefers one particular side when leading.
