| Abstract
|
:
|
Horses perceive the world differently from humans. They are essentially prey/flight animals and their senses have evolved over time to ensure their survival. Compares the horse's sensory organs with those of humans, to avoid misunderstandings that can lead to many problems. The five senses: hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch, are covered in this book. Explains how each sense works, then relates this to care, behaviour and riding, explaining why some practices are appropriate and others not. Behavioural aspects of dealing with horses are emphasized throughout. Valuable to horse owners, riders, breeders, trainers, veterinary students and practitioners. --Cover.
