I didn't realize this was intended for children until I had brought it home, as the exterior cover does not so indicate. However, I did enjoy it and it increased my understanding of my own horse's behavior. Good for parents who want to introduce their children to scientific study and how a researcher can make definitive statements based upon uncovered facts. However, probably better for older children, 12 and up, unless they are already well-read and have a broad vocabulary.

I came upon this book while looking for ones for my children. As a rider, I am always interested in knowing more about whats going on inside the horses head. The author is a horse owner and a researcher as well and really keys into the senses of a horse and why they are so important to him. I would think any child over the age of 11 or 12 who loves horses and wants a better understanding of them would enjoy this book. It is an easy read and has references for further reading and a glossary on horse terms. Enjoyable book for older children.

The book is simple to read and easy to understand. It gives you the basics with study back up to the author's statements. Not what I was looking for but easy to read and informative.
