Horse Senses

In this book the author compares horses' sensory organs with those of humans to avoid misunderstandings as lack of knowledge can lead to many problems when dealing with horses. The five senses are covered in this book - hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch. Each section explains how horses' sense works and how this is related to care, behaviour and riding, with explanations for why some practices are appropriate while others are not. The behavioral aspect of dealing with horses is emphasized throughout. This book will be useful for all horse owners, horse breeders and trainers.

Founder of the Equine Behaviour Forum and author of over 40 books on equine topics. She has an HNC in Equine Sciences and Management, is a Classical Riding Club Gold Award Holder and classical trainer, an equine shiatsu practitioner and an Associate Member of the International Society for Equitation Science.
