Scentwork for Horses is the first practical guide on how to
implement scentwork into the lives of domesticated horses,
enhancing behaviour, welfare, and the human-animal bond. Scentwork
is a new discipline in the field for horse and handler, and expert
author Rachael Draaisma arms the reader with a palette of
information to enable them to put this technique into action. As
well as theoretical background information on the nose of the horse
and biomechanics, Draaisma discusses how scentwork improves horses'
learning abilities, development, socialisation, and their bond with
the handler. Readers will learn how to have their horses explore
their environment, participate in scentwork games and follow a
footstep track to find a missing person or food bag. Easily
accessible for anybody working with horses at any level, scentwork
can be done in small areas as well as in larger spaces on various
surfaces. Whether veterinarian, behaviourist, trainer,
animal-assisted therapist, equine physiotherapist, osteopath, or
interested horse owner, this book promises to bring both you and
the horse enormous benefits, strengthening the human-animal bond.
Rachael Draaisma has always lived with and had a passion for dogs
and horses. In 2002, she decided to make it her profession.
Achieving several diplomas, she started to work full time as a
trainer and behavioural consultant, first with dogs, later with
horses. Her best-selling book Language Signs and Calming Signals of
Horses, published by CRC Press in 2017, has been translated into
several languages. Another pillar of Draaisma's working life with
horses revolves around equine mental stimulation and scentwork, and
she has developed an extensive method to undertake scent tracking
with horses, a new tool in enriching the human-equine relationship.
Draaisma travels throughout Europe and the globe to provide
workshops and lectures on calming signals of horses, equine mental
stimulation, and scentwork. You can purchase scent bags to aid your
scentwork practice at the author's personal website:
