Humans have lived with horses for 6,000 years. Horses have fought, lived, and died for us. The ways we interact with horses are inextricably linked to this history, which has led us to treat and train them in ways that are not always compatible with their evolutionary needs. Even today, with all that science has to offer, we still view the horse as if it were human.
This is a book for anyone who has ever wished they understood their horse better, or wondered why their horse behaves the way it does. It will be of enormous benefit to anyone involved with the performance or breeding of horses including serious competitive riders, trainers, breeders, and equine veterinarians.
Andrew McLean is widely published internationally in the equestrian and scientific press, but this is the first time the scientific theory behind his training methods has appeared in book form.
