Horses perceive the world differently from humans because their
senses developed differently through evolution to cope with
different ways of living and surviving. Horses are essentially
prey/flight animals. The horse's senses therefore determine how the
world appears to him and how he reacts to it. As the horse's
perception and understanding are very different to ours sometimes
their reaction to events and their surroundings seem strange to us.
In this book the author compares the horses sensory organs with
those of humans to avoid misunderstandings as lack of knowledge can
lead to many problems when dealing with horses. The five senses are
covered in this book: hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch. Each
section explains how the horses' sense works and then this is
related to care, behavior and riding, explaining why some practices
are appropriate and why some are not. The behavioral aspect of
dealing with horses is emphasized throughout. The author is founder
of the Equine Behaviour Forum and author of over 40 books on equine
topics. She has an HNC in Equine Sciences and Management, is a
Classical Riding Club Gold Award Holder and classical trainer, an
equine shiatsu practitioner, and an Associate Member of the
International Society for Equitation Science. This book is useful
for all horse owners, horse breeders and trainers who wish to gain
a better understanding of how the horse's senses function, and for
veterinary students and practitioners.
