Understanding horse behaviour is a very important part of caring for horses properly. It is very easy to convince yourself that your horse is content to do all of the things that you enjoy, but a better approach is to understand that your horse sees the world quite differently to you, after all, you are a primate (hunter/gatherer) and your horse is a very large hairy herbivore! So it's not surprising that you both have a very different view of the world. We recommend that if in doubt take everything 'back to basics' and think about what a horse has evolved to be. This book describes horse behaviour in both the wild 'natural' environment and in the domestic environment. It then looks at how you can reduce stress in the domestic horse by understanding and acknowledging their real needs, resulting in a more ‘well-adjusted’, content and thriving animal. Do your horse a favour and read this book!

About the Author

Jane Myers MSc (Equine Science) is the author of several professional books about horses including the best selling book Managing Horses on Small Properties (published by CSIRO). Jane is particularly interested in sustainable horsekeeping practices and issues, such as low stress horse management that also delivers environmental benefits. Jane has lived and breathed horses from a young age and considers herself to be very fortunate in that she has been able to spend her life riding, training and studying these amazing animals. Stuart Myers (BSc) has a background in human behaviour and has been a horse husband for more years than he cares to remember!
