Understanding Horse Behavior
Sue McDonnell, Ph.D.

What we ask horses to do is often quite incompatible with their natural instincts. From the behaviorists point of view, the routine work and performance feats of domestic horses are truly remarkable. Equestrians have long been fascinated by those people who seem to possess extraordinary ability to interact effectively with difficult horses, to eke out superior performances from seemingly ordinary animals. Currently, interest in equine behavior and demand for the services of these specialists are at all-time highs. 

Understanding Horse Behavior presents current information and resources on the basics of horse behavior. Included are examples of common behavior problems and suggested approaches to behavior modification. 

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