Almost every person working with horses will have studied equine
behavior to a certain extent. Understanding the flexibility and
limits of behaviour is essential to improving both the horse's
welfare and its performance. This book will enable students,
trainers, riders and horse owners to understand the fundamental
principles behind the behavior of horses and how to apply them in
different situations in practice.
Part 1 looks at the constraints which apply to the modern horse
because of its evolutionary history and the nature of the
evolutionary process itself. Part 2 examines the processes and
mechanism which control the behaviour and responses of a horse and
explores the sources of individual variation, whilst Part 3 looks
at the effect of the environment on the horse's behaviour and
welfare. This includes a critical look at current and recent
training techniques such as 'imprint training and 'join up'.
Here is a readable, scientific text expertly illustrated
throughout the clarify the key concepts in equine behaviour.
