The Horse Behavior Problem Solver

June 1, 2004
Horses are big animals, and the humans who work with and ride them are relatively puny. How do we get the proper conduct from an uncooperative horse? How do we stop potentially dangerous behavior? And, ultimately, how do we establish a healthy relationship between horse and rider? Jahiel, an equine behaviorist and lecturer, answers these questions and many more in this excellent guide to equine behavior modification. Drawn extensively from the author's online newsletter " Horse Sense," the information is presented in a question-and-answer format divided into sections covering specific aspects of horse conduct. Jahiel chooses questions to answer based on their broad applicability and provides extensive answers based on a vast knowledge of equine behavior, both innate (nature) and human-caused (nurture). This comprehensive book is an excellent choice for inclusion in the equestrian section, even for libraries with small collections.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2004, American Library Association.)
