Provides an essential resource for those who work with, study, and
provide care to horses. It provides critical knowledge to help users
understand the complex aspects of their behavior in order to benefit the
animal, observe safe practices, and advance research in this area. The
book includes current information on normal horse behavior and problem
behaviors, particularly those associated with medical conditions,
changes in the nervous system, and the use of drug therapy. Readers will
gain a comprehensive understanding of the differences of the sensory
systems and the concepts of learning that are helpful for successful
treatments and safety.
With the use of psychopharmacology
becoming increasingly common by veterinarians, including for abnormal
behaviors, is important to understand the rationale for the use of these
medications.

physiology, and health is key to practitioners, students, professionals,
and others who work with, or care for, horses.- Pulls together the current published science on equine behavior into chapters covering a variety of specific behavioral topics
