Equine Behaviour in Mind – Suzanne Rogers

Detailní popis produktu

Understanding equine behaviour is one of the most important steps towards improving the way we live, work and communicate with horses.

Equine Behaviour in Mind: Applying Behavioural Science to the Way We Keep, Work and Care for Horses, edited by Suzanne Rogers, explores how scientific knowledge of horse behaviour can be translated into meaningful changes in everyday equine management, training and care.

Bringing together behavioural research, practical experience and real-world case studies, this book encourages readers to consider situations from the horse's perspective. It demonstrates how even relatively small changes in human behaviour and management practices can have a significant impact on equine welfare.

Topics explored include:

• Understanding equine behaviour through scientific research.

• Applying behavioural principles to everyday horse management.

• Training and handling with greater awareness of the horse's needs.

• Behavioural considerations in breeding and competition.

• Improving the experience of horses during veterinary and dental procedures.

• Applying behaviour-focused approaches to riding instruction.

• Supporting horses during rehabilitation and rescue.

• Promoting better equine welfare through changes in human practices and attitudes.

Rather than focusing exclusively on training techniques, the book takes a broader view of the horse's life, examining how our decisions, expectations and interactions influence its physical and psychological wellbeing.

Practical examples and case studies help bridge the gap between academic research and situations encountered by horse owners, riders, trainers and equine professionals.

Equine Behaviour in Mind is particularly valuable for readers who want to develop a deeper, evidence-informed understanding of horses and critically examine established approaches to their care and training.

A thoughtful and practical contribution to modern horsemanship, placing the horse's experience at the centre of the discussion.
