An International Best Seller and a distillation of Andrew's PhD thesis. For the first time ever, a book that reveals the huge potential offered by the behavioural sciences in maximising effectiveness in training for horses and people. Adoption of these principles dramatically increases the number of horses that are able to learn what we intend to teach them, and become successful performance horses in any discipline.
It begins by examining our complex historical interactions with the horse, our misplaced expectations of its mentality and their dire consequences. The Truth About Horses explains how we can improve the performance horse's welfare by constructing a much clearer training model.
The book is written in a narrative style, and details training in-hand and under-saddle as well as re-training. The chapter on 'conflict behaviour' represents the first time that the scientifically valid explanation of problem behaviours in horses has been written for the understanding of the general public.
