<p>About the Author</p><p>Olena Molchanova is a horse trainer, researcher of animal cognition, and author dedicated to exploring the true intellectual potential of horses. Her work is based on the belief that, when taught properly, horses are capable of reasoning, choosing, and even understanding symbolic systems such as reading.</p><p>Rather than seeking dominance, Olena focuses on mutual understanding and cognitive development through play, curiosity, and joy. Her approach combines respect, empathy, and structure — enabling horses to grow not just as obedient partners, but as thinking beings.</p><p>This book is structured like a practical course. Each chapter presents a specific step or insight from real training, so the table of contents may appear extensive. This is intentional: it allows readers to revisit individual lessons as needed and follow the process at their own pace.</p>
