Understanding Sensory Soundness

& Sensory Mapping

​

 

Dive into the groundbreaking world of equine behavior with Kerry M. Thomas, an internationally
recognized Equine Behavior Specialist, as he shares his pioneering insights on Sensory Soundness and
Sensory Mapping. This seminar and clinic are designed to empower equestrians with the tools to better
understand, select, and develop horses while addressing psychologically driven training challenges.
Through an engaging combination of lectures and hands-on sessions, Kerry will demystify the critical
role of the sensory system—the operating system that runs the machine—and how it governs every aspect
of equine behavior, performance, and development.

Key Highlights:

• Herd Dynamics & Sensory Soundness: Understand how a horse’s sensory systems shape both individual and group behaviour, and how this awareness can enhance communication and connection.

• Sensory Mapping: Learn how sensory mapping reveals a horse’s behavioural strengths, vulnerabilities, and emotional thresholds, offering a clear blueprint for effective training and development.

• Troubleshooting Training Impediments: Gain insight into identifying and overcoming mental roadblocks that can limit progress and performance, allowing for more effective and responsive training.

• Horse Selection: Gain insights into using sensory soundness and mapping to select horses that align with specific disciplines and breeding goals.

• Practical Applications: Learn the skills of sensory mapping how to integrate these concepts into training programs to create a more harmonious and productive horse-human relationship.

 

This seminar and clinic provide a rare opportunity to learn from the expert who pioneered these concepts.
Whether you’re a breeder, trainer, competitor, or horse enthusiast, you’ll gain actionable knowledge to
transform your approach to equine care, training, and development.
