4.0 out of 5 stars interesting older book on horse behavior, February 26, 2008
By 
Calico (east coast US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding Horse Psychology (Paperback)
This book is an interesting older book on horse behavior.

On one hand it is old and a bit dated. People today want things put in a little more exciting terms. I am a nerd so it didn't bother me, but it's not very flashy.

On the other hand because it's not mainstream and new it's not biased with "alpha horse" this and "dominant" that. Horses behavior was observed over the years and the author attempts to explain it. For example, it was interesting to see someone examine why horses sometimes have a hard time finding open gates. The author compared their behavior to other domesticated herd animals such as sheep. And he experimented with the gate in the middle vs the corners to see what would happen.

It isn't an all-inclusive book but it was a fun, shorter read. For the purchase price of only about $4, I thought it was a great value.
