Product Description
Product Description
This is a practical, accessible guide to understanding horses, from the inside out, that bridges the gap between military style training and horse whispering techniques. Abigail Hogg shares her knowledge of working with horses and riders in a range of cultural settings. The author draws on her extensive studies of horse behaviour to give sympathetic, informed and intelligent advice on how to get the best out of both horse and rider. Case studies, colour diagrams, tables and checklists describe in graphic detail how and why horses behave as they do.
About the Author
Abigail Hogg has studied and taught alongside Lucy Rees (author of the seminal The Horse's Mind). Abigail is currently a member of the Equine Behaviour Forum and the Natural Horse Group. She lives in Todmorden, Lancashire.

I have purchased a few books recently on the theme of horse behaviour and the relationship between human and equine. This is in my opinion by far the best, most clearly explained book and whilst it advocates ensuring that training, riding and keeping horses should be as natural as possible, it doesn't attempt to persuade the reader to adopt the techniques of a particular trainer (although one name did come up a few times, but it wasn't overdone.)
I am fascinated by horses and ride whenever I can. If at some point in the future I am lucky enough to be in the position to become an owner, this book will be my 'bible'. I'm a novice but I've always suspected that many of the training methods and the way we look after horses was inadequate and sometimes downright cruel. If you also suspect that there must be a better way, read this book, you won't be disappointed.

This book is very informative and having so many photos and drawings makes it easy for all types of learners to understand. For those that have questions around why there horses behaviour in a particular way reading this book will bring up many of the answers and will help create a much deeper understanding of why horses do what they do and not necessarily what we think they should do! In my mind it is a must own book for any horse owner and I will certainly be recommending it to my clients. Savvysue
Format:Paperback
This book is well written and exceptionally well illustrated with clear and interesting photographs and drawings of horse behaviour. The author explains how horses interact with each other and with us, and offers a very persuasive argument for keeping horses in the way that causes them the least stress. She also offers interesting exercises to try with your own horse, and really practical problem-solving ideas to cope with horse behaviour which humans find difficult.
The most sympathetic book on horse management I have read for years.
