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
Dr. Katerina Junghansova
is an equine veterinarian, educator, and the founder of an educational project called VetCareTraining, which has later grown into The Cooperative Equine—an educational platform dedicated to advancing a new paradigm of human-equine cooperation.
Drawing on veterinary medicine, equine welfare, learning science, neuroscience, and ethical training, she developed the Human-Equine Cooperation Framework™, a structured approach that helps humans and equines move beyond compliance toward genuine cooperation.
Her vision is simple: a future where every interaction helps build understanding, confidence, and trust, and where cooperation becomes the foundation of everyday life with equines.
