Summary
Horse Behaviour Explained: Origins, Treatment, and Prevention of Problems is a general guide to understanding horse behaviour, how the horse learns and how horse handlers can adjust their behaviour to avoid creating anxiety in the horse.
The author begins by providing an overview of the evolution of the horse and the consequences of its domestication.
She goes on to provide a very detailed description of normal equine behaviour and its impact on husbandry and training.
