Horses were first domesticated about 6,000 years ago on the vast Eurasian steppe, yet only in the last two decades have scientists begun to explore the mental capacities of these animals. In The Mind of the Horse, Michel-Antoine Leblanc presents an encyclopedic synthesis of scientific knowledge about equine behavior and cognition, providing experts and enthusiasts alike with an up-to-date understanding of how horses perceive, think about, and adapt to their physical and social worlds. Much of what we think we know about "the intelligence of the horse" derives from fragmentary reports and anecdotal evidence. Putting this accumulated wisdom to the test, Leblanc introduces readers to rigorous experimental investigations into how horses make sense of their world under varying conditions. He describes the anatomical and neurophysiological characteristics of the horse's brain, and compares these features with those of other species, to gain an evolutionary perspective. A horseman himself, Leblanc also considers the opinions of renowned riding masters, as well as controversies surrounding the horse's extraordinary mental powers that have stirred in equestrian and scientific circles. The Mind of the Horse brings together in one volume the current state of equine research and will likely stimulate surprising new discoveries.

Depuis plusieurs dizaines d'années, les recherches qui portent sur l'exploration des facultés mentales du cheval se sont multipliées. Ce qui n'était hier que l'objet de spéculations plus ou moins hasardeuses devient progressivement objet de connaissance. D'importantes avancées ont notamment eu lieu dans le domaine de la perception du cheval, tant au niveau de son monde social que physique. La nouvelle édition de cet ouvrage propose une synthèse sur le vaste champ de la cognition chez le cheval, ainsi qu'une recension systématique de ce qui concerne sa perception de son environnement, prenant en compte les travaux de recherches scientifiques les plus récents. Michel-Antoine Leblanc, psychologue et docteur en neurosciences, a fait découvrir l'éthologie du cheval au monde francophone en publiant, dès les années 1980, des articles et ouvrages de référence sur le sujet dont Le Cheval : Comportement, vie sociale et relations avec l'environnement, puis Cheval, qui es-tu ? L'éthologie du cheval, du comportement naturel à la vie domestique, avec le concours de Marie-France Bouissou et de Frédéric Chéhu en 2004. Le prix Pégase lui a été décerné en 2015 pour son livre Comment pensent les chevaux ? mais aussi pour l'ensemble de ses publications
