Where science meets compassion:

The Human-Equine Cooperation Framework™

An ethical, science-informed approach to building trust, communication, and genuine human-equine cooperation

From stressed & confused to confident & cooperative

What would it feel like to have your horses (mules, donkeys) voluntarily cooperate in everyday interactions, daily care, or medical procedures?
What would it feel like to transform every interaction into a two-way conversation?
Gain the knowledge, understanding, and practical skills to cultivate genuine cooperation with your equines while respecting their needs.



From getting through a procedure to strengthening relationship

Daily handling, veterinary care, hoof care, grooming, and other necessary procedures don't have to become a source of stress or conflict.
Learn how to prepare your equine for real life with kindness and clarity, so these everyday moments become opportunities to build confidence, communication, and trust.
You don´t need to wait for extraordinary moments to strengthen the relationship with your equines if you know how to turn mundane situations into trust-building tools.

Person behind The Cooperative Equine

Hi!

I´m Dr. Katerina Junghansova,

a former equine veterinarian, now a cooperative care trainer & a certified trauma-informed horse trainer.

I created The Human-Equine Cooperation Framework™ to help compassionate horse people & equine professionals create a trust-based connection with horses & other equines, and to work with them more safely, ethically & effectively through consent-based interactions, cooperation and two-way communication.

My mission is to make human-equine cooperation the new standard for horse care, training, and everyday life.
