Bookshop - Behaviour


There are reasons for bad behavior in horses (just as there are with children) and the only way we can hope to solve the problem is to understand the cause.  No single book can give you the answers - but they will all promote thought and help you to discover more about why your horse does that!

The Problem Horse

The Behaviour of Horses
Marthe Kiley-Worthington
Thinking with Horses
Henry Blake
 
This manual addresses typical problems, those that arise in training, in the stable, in the pasture, under saddle, over fences and when traveling. Also included are tips for handling unusual or potentially dangerous situations.   An expert in animal behaviour and training makes an interesting study into how horses feel, think and learn and has applied this knowledge to their training. Henry Blake encourages riders to think more about why their horse behaves in a particular way - believing understanding his point-of-view is the key to mutual respect and understanding.

Improve Your Horse's Well-Being : A Step-By-Step Guide to Ttouch and Tteam Training
Linda Tellington-Jones
This guide shows how to understand and communicate with horses. It shows how to interpret their signals, from the subtle flick of an ear to the very clear message given by a well-aimed bite. The author argues that good horsemanship is about partnership not domination and aims to demystify the techniques of riding through simple, logical explanation and clear illustrations.   Tellington-Jones has won many disciples with her systematic approach to problem solving.  This book offers a step-by-step introduction to her methods.

Handling Your Problem Horse
Sallie Walrond
The author of this work describes how the personality traits of horses are revealed through a close and detailed study of their physical make-up. She then describes a range of exercises that she has developed to bring about impressive changes to a horse's behaviour, temperament and performance.  Probably the most comprehensive and well researched book explaining equine behaviour - the author is a scientific writer and a practical horseman.  Answers all the questions: how intelligent are horses, how do they play, how well can they see, how they communicate.  Everyone who wants to understand horses better should read this - again and again. Examines the causes, preventions and cures of over 50 different problems associated with riding, driving and handling horses. Among topics discussed are: difficulties in catching; boxing; clipping; saddling; grooming; fear of injections; bucking; kicking; head shaking; and bolting
