Description
Continues to provide a comprehensive overview of equine behaviour and an outline of current advances in our understanding, as well as offering insights into contemporary and future challenges for improving horse welfare and safety.
The third edition of this book contains 15 illustrated chapters on the development and assessment of equine behavior; sensory and neurologic faculties; the neurological underpinnings of behaviour; behavioral homeostasis, daily rhythms and advances in monitoring; ingestion, elimination and comfort; kinetic behaviour and athletic performance; spatial factors; equine transport; reproduction and breeding; mare and foal dynamics; foal function and welfare; development and social behaviour; undesirable behaviour and stress; humane control, training and husbandry and evacuation and rescue welfare.
Completely updated and revised, a new, international, expert editorial team builds on Andrew Fraser's decades of work as an ethologist, veterinarian, historian, horseman, breeder, trainer, conservationist, and field scientist, sharing essential knowledge to improve horse behaviour and welfare.
A range of international experts and key opinion leaders have updated this edition to include the effects of noise on the horse's welfare, husbandry and grazing management including the identification of harmful plants and issues of climate change on pasture. New illustrations and examples bring the book to life and further help to explain equine behaviour in a whole range of different situations, including road transport and horse safety during transport. The text covers key issues concerning equipment and the horse's mouth. It gives new insights into genetics, temperament and horse vocalisations and what these indicate. Welfare assessment models are outlined and the challenges presented in different equestrian sports debated. Difficult topics such as euthanasia are also covered.
This classic text remains an essential resource for veterinarians, animal scientists, equine professionals and horse owners.
