Horses in Company (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Horses in Company is an in-depth study of the social interaction and hierarchy of horses in the wild. The book discusses how the characteristic behaviour of the herd has developed in response to the natural selection pressures in their evolution, namely that horses are prey animals and not predators, and how this governs the behaviour of domestic horses living together. Through these studies, the book aims to help the reader understand the difficulties that arise between people and horses due to misunderstanding equine behaviour and motivation. Of great interest to all horse owners and riders and illustrated with 60 colour photographs.

Autorenporträt

Lucy Rees studied ethology and neuroscience, before leaving academic life to apply scientific knowledge to practical problems of horsemanship. She has written numerous books, including two teenage novels, as well as The Horse's Mind, which has had considerable influence in anticipating present trends in horsemanship. She was the subject of the prize-winning film To Ride a Wild Horse, which demonstrated successful ethologically-based training. Lucy now lives in Spain, where she maintains a herd of wild Pottoka horses, the native breed of the Basque country. She frequently lectures in universities throughout Europe and Latin America, and runs courses promoting 'natural' methods of horsemanship based on her own studies of feral horses in Australia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Patagonia.
