Equine Behaviour in Mind

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.
