Equine Research Foundation
A Perfect Place to Relax and Enjoy Horses
Come ride, learn, play, and have fun with horses! Immerse yourself
in one of the Equine Research Foundation's learning and riding horse vacations
or internships. Discover how horses think and learn and how they perceive their
world by being involved in groundbreaking scientific projects. Use this knowledge
to create trust, establish strong bonds, form willing partnerships, and train
using gentle methods horses understand. Learn through hands-on experience about
the Foundation's alternative horse training methods, which are based on equine
behavior, eclectic horsemanship, and positive reinforcement.
Join other horse enthusiasts from around the world in horseback riding in the arena, in our picturesque vineyard, through the majestic redwoods, in the diversely forested mountains, and along the scenic coastal beaches of the Pacific Ocean.
The nonprofit Equine Research Foundation is all about:
Riding and Learning Horse Vacations and Internships

Riding and Learning Horse Vacations and Internships
Each year, the Foundation offers riding
and learning horse vacations to the public in the form of:
equestrian vacations of one to two weeks from July through September
summer internships of one to three months from July through September
student volunteering of any duration anytime throughout the year
All three public programs involve participants in all aspects of the Foundation's research and horse training. Paid equestrian vacations qualify for a charity tax deduction.
Is one of these programs right for you? If any of the following apply, then the answer is yes! Are you:
Dreaming of having the perfect horse?
Wanting to develop excellent relationships and strong bonds with horses?
Desiring to do more with your horse than you have ever done before?
Hoping that your horse will truly want to be with you and follow you at liberty, anytime, anywhere?
Wishing for a safe, trustworthy horse that responds to your lightest cues?
Striving to understand how the horse's mind works and to use this knowledge to excel in horsemanship and training?
Thinking of buying a horse but do not know enough about them?
Been riding for years but still want to expand your skills and knowledge?
Having problems with your horse that need to be worked through, including those involving respect for your space?
Simply fascinated by horses and wanting to learn more?
Looking for a vacation that is informative, fun and fulfilling?
Seeking school or work credit or even a career change?
Visit our programs page for detailed information on one-to-two-week equestrian vacations, one-to-three-month summer internships and volunteer opportunities. Volunteering is available year-round to local college students and the community. But don't take our word for it; see what people say about their experiences at the Foundation.
Visit our horsemanship
pictures and our horse
research pictures pages for photos of ongoing activities, public programs
and projects at the Equine Research Foundation. These photos provide a sampling
of our past and current daily activities. Today's programs include all of
the activities that were available in the past plus a greater emphasis on
horse behavior, training and riding.
Horse Training Clinics - On-Site and Off-Site
The Equine Research Foundation offers on-site and off-site positive
reinforcement horse training clinics within the western states.
Horses learn through both positive and negative reinforcement. Through negative reinforcement (still today a horse training standard) a horse performs an action in order to avoid something unpleasant, such as moving away from pressure. Through positive reinforcement, a horse learns to perform a behavior in order to receive something he desires, such as food, stroking, or praise. The horse becomes an active participant, eagerly seeking out the right answer. Dull horses brighten, sour horses turn sweet, and the underachiever suddenly moves to the head of the class.
Our PR clinics last for three days but can be custom-tailored to meet your needs.
Our horse training clinics are for you if you want to:
Learn how to train your horse to perform all sorts of useful and fun behaviors using positive reinforcement
Create a trusting, willing partnership with your horse
Desensitize your horse to strange or scary objects or situations
Eliminate unwanted behaviors
Develop the skills to remain relaxed and calm and keep your horse relaxed and calm during training and handling
Clinics are conducted by Dr. Evelyn B. Hanggi and Jerry Ingersoll, co-founders of the Equine Research Foundation. Minimum number of participants is 12, maximum is 15, which ensures a lot of individual attention.
For more information about either our on-site or off-site clinics, or if you wish to host or promote one of our PR clinics in your area, please call (831) 662-9577 or contact us online.
Advancing Knowledge About Horses Through Experience and Education
The purpose of the nonprofit Equine Research Foundation is to further scientific and public knowledge about the learning abilities of horses, and their behavior, training, care and welfare.
The Equine Research Foundation supports noninvasive research aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of the learning, cognitive and perceptual capabilities of horses. The study of cognition is concerned with the mental processes, representations and skills involved in thinking and learning.
Researchers at the Equine Research Foundation are finding that horses have more advanced cognitive abilities than was previously thought and can solve complex problems. These noninvasive studies, which are based on positive reinforcement, show that horses are thinking creatures that respond best to humans who acknowledge their minds and emotions.
Participants learn about and assist with all phases of the research and gain a deeper understanding of how our findings apply to daily interactions with horses as well as training and handling.
Helping Horses and Humans
Each year thousands of horses are bought with the best intentions. However, each year a like number are sold again because owners find that their ideas of horse ownership are not reality. Horse ownership requires time, money, and most importantly, knowledge.
Understanding equine behavior is the key to excellence in horsemanship. Gaining insight into how horses learn and perceive the world and how to use this knowledge to help with horse training and handling is one of the most important aspects of successful horse management.
One goal of the Equine Research Foundation is to make its research results
available so they can be used to improve human-horse interactions.
Improving Equine Welfare
To understand and then satisfy a domestic animal's needs, one must learn as much as possible about its basic psychological and behavioral processes. In the past, much time has been devoted to understanding the horse's physiology but relatively little attention has been directed toward the horse's mind.
By ignoring psychological needs, humans create stress for horses and when
stresses are prolonged, health and behavioral problems occur. When behavioral
problems arise, the horse is often blamed, then shuffled from one trainer to
another only to be returned to the same conditions or sold repeatedly. Finally,
the horse is labeled a "problem" and then neglected, abused, or abandoned.
Psychological factors such as feeling, thinking and remembering are cognitive processes that affect an animal's overall well-being. Therefore, if we want to provide the best environment, training and handling methods for our horses, we must understand their cognitive and motivational processes.
Helping You To Do Good
Join the Equine Research Foundation's riding and learning vacations programs of one-to-two-week equestrian vacations, one-to-three-month summer internships and volunteering. Assist with all aspects of the Foundation's research and learn about alternative training techniques that rely on horse psychology, herd behavior, positive reinforcement and the human-horse bond.
