A HORSE IS A HORSE OF COURSE

This publication will teach you about horse behaviour, in particular those aspects of horse behaviour that relate to their management. It also includes some information about training horses - how horses learn - and it explains some of the scientific concepts and terminology about behaviour and horse training.

This publication will give you a thorough introduction to the subject of horse behaviour - starting with how horses behave in a natural setting. You can then aim to provide an environment that is as close to natural as possible when keeping horses in captivity. This in turn leads to better management outcomes for domestic horses.

The information is scientific based but is written so that it is understandable and applicable whatever your background. Everyone from complete novices to experienced horse people will gain invaluable information from this publication.
