Applying Behavioural Science to the Way We Keep, Work and Care for Horses
By Suzanne Rogers
1st Edition
Intended for people who work with horses and for owners who want to learn more, Equine Behaviour in Mind provides
ideas for practical ways that changes can be incorporated into daily
interactions with horses. This book advocates a mindful approach to
working with horses, encouraging the reader to think in a horse-centric
way. Academic behavioural research is used to underpin understanding of
horse behaviour and changes that can be made to positively improve
horses’ lives. The aim is to provide both the theory behind
behaviour-minded horse management and the practical application to
enable impactful changes to be made. Real world examples and case
studies are provided to highlight these points.
Horse behaviour
is discussed in a range of contexts, including breeding, training and
competing. A behaviourally minded approach to teaching riding, to
medical and dental check-ups, to rehabilitation and rescue, and to
driving change for horse welfare in both developed and developing
countries is also covered.
