Behavioral problems in the stable and under saddle are of concern to equine veterinarians worldwide because they lead to welfare issues, abuse and ultimately wastage. Equine veterinarians, trainers and handlers must be aware of each horse's behavior as a first step in detection of problems, whether they are clinical maladies or training issues. As they constantly study their horses' responses to their environments they are all, in effect, students of horse behavior. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on over 1,000 references, \u003ci\u003eEquine Behavior\u003c\/i\u003e explores the subject from first principles by considering the behavior of free-ranging horses and considering ways in which management and training influences the responses of domestic horses. All too often veterinarians feel that management of the mental health of equine patients is beyond their expertise. This book addresses many important gaps to enable practitioners to understand how horses can learn to perform unwelcome behaviors and how to change those behaviors where appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe new edition builds on the success of its pioneering predecessor and presents a thorough revision of all chapters to reflect the latest developments in this dynamic field. The chapter on equitation science has been expanded and there have been major revisions to the sections on stereotypic behavior, cognition studies, nutrition and housing. The book remains a must-have purchase for all veterinarians who deal with horses, for equine scientists, trainers and everybody with an interest in the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures a practical, hands-on approach to all aspects of equine behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses all factors that effect equine behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContrasts normal behavior with abnormal behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReviews all behavioral problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLists and reviews the latest drug therapies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses difficult-to-treat clinical problems such as head-shaking, with insights from the leading researcher in this area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a brief clinical evaluation of 'horse-whispering'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrates the key behavioral differences between horses and donkeys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul McGreevy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0702043370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780702043376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Saunders Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.70w x 0.90d","brand":"Paul McGreevy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46546082627839,"sku":"9780702043376","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a46e9379-610e-4c74-a3e0-7bf2506b4684.jpg?v=1738184079","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/equine-behavior-paul-mcgreevy-9780702043376","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
