This practical book helps you interpret and connect the physical
signals that horses display in response to their environment. These
signals are evident in the everyday actions, gestures and attitudes
that horses communicate to each other, but are often so subtle that
they can go unnoticed by humans. This book aims to rectify that,
offering horse lovers and equine professionals an opportunity to
gain a unique insight into their 'horse's world'. Key features:
includes detailed description of language signs of domestic horses,
with a special emphasis on calming signals includes 275 pictures to
visualize various language signs, calming signals, behaviour
sequences and facial features presents communication ladders to
show how a horse responds to incentives in his environment, and
what signals he uses at certain moments contains tips on the use of
the communication ladders and calming signals to improve the
socialisation, training and wellbeing of your horse considers
equine psychological stress from an environmental perspective,
providing a valuable alternative to the current common clinical
perspective. After reading this book you will be more astute in
spotting calming signals, displacement activities, stress signals
and distance-increasing signals, and better able to see which
stimuli your horse can handle and which he cannot. This means you
will know what to do to calm your horse before his stress rises to
an unmanageable level. Language Signs and Calming Signals of Horses
is both fascinating and important reading for any equine veterinary
practitioner, student or nurse, as well as horse owners and
trainers.
