Horse and Pony Body Language Phrasebook by Susan Mcbane

Horses and humans share a long, harmonious relationship stretching back thousands of years. Wouldn't it be wonderful to know precisely what every swish of a tail, every stomp of a hoof, and every whinny really means? Now you can discover what your horse is trying to tell you in the new Horse and Pony Body Language Phrasebook. Though horses and ponies cannot speak, they have evolved a highly sophisticated system for communication. All of the most common behavioral traits of horses and ponies are examined in detail. Learn to recognize when your horse is happy, stressed, afraid, bored, or in pain. Each spread in this practical reference book features one of 100 ways to read your horse's signals, including postures, gestures, and sounds. Full of beautiful full-color photographs and insightful advice written by animal psychologists and behavior experts.
