"A color-coded guide to creating better horse-human interactions and reducing mental, emotional, and physical stress in the horse. Renowned wild horse ecologist Mary Ann Simonds provides a soup-to-nuts manual for stress-reduction in performance horses. Based on her 30-plus years of personal research and experience of wild horse ecology and domestic horse behavior, as well as data provided by other equine scientists, readers will find a foundation of understanding related to the natural life cycle and history of the horse, from birth to forming friendships and families. The importance of gender, age, breed, culture, and habitat in the horse's natural development are clarified. Simonds then explores horse-human relationships, communication, care, and training, as well as "the things we do with horses," clarifying how to reduce the stress typically experienced by horses when pursuing specific equestrian disciplines and activities"--
