Description
First published in 1983, the second edition of this informative book remains the most comprehensive and current overview of the behavioral
traits and adaptations of horses. The book integrates findings from hundreds of international researchers to provide the reader a factual
synthesis of the behavior of domestic and feral horses. Building on the strengths of the first edition, the author has thoroughly updated
coverage of horse ancestry, development, perception, learning, play, social behavior, behavioral manipulation, maintenance activities,
and sexual behavior.
In this second edition more emphasis has been given to animal husbandry and management. Additionally, the second
edition includes an all-new section on ecological influences on activity patterns, habitat utilization, social behavior and reproduction.
An expanded section on applied ethology provides behavioral considerations for management and insight regarding the behavioral indicators
of horse health and well being. This is followed with an updated appendix listing behavioral symptoms and possible causes. The text contains
numerous tables and nearly 100 illustrations and photos.
Audience
Animal scientists, veterinarians, horse breeders, agricultural and zoological managers and handlers, animal behaviorists, and horse enthusiasts worldwide.
