Understanding Your Horse's Behavior
Sue McDonnell, Ph.D.

Pub Date: September 2005. In Understanding Your Horse's Behavior, renowned equine behaviorist Sue McDonnell, Ph.D., provides practical and thought-provoking answers to questions from horse owners on a wide variety of topics. The problems she addresses range from sudden changes in a horse’s behavior and unpredictable fears to difficulty in being caught and food-related aggression.

McDonnell also theorizes on equine intelligence, how a horse’s personality is determined, and why horses yawn. The more than 30 questions and answers in this volume originally appeared in The Horse: Your Guide to Equine Health Care magazine, to which McDonnell regularly contributes. The questions represent problems all horse owners confront in addition to some unusual situations and behaviors. McDonnell, founder of the University of Pennsylvania’s New Bolton Center Equine Behavior Lab, is a master at simple explanations of complicated issues that will help every horse owner be a better caretaker.

McDonnell has written two other books for Eclipse Press: Understanding Horse Behavior, part of The Horse Health Care Library, and The Equid Ethogram: A Practical Field Guide to Horse Behavior.
