Editorial Review: Product Description: This book details everything from ongoing daily activites to social interaction among horses to abnormal behaviors. Each behavior is further explained by original line drawings, photographs or both. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Clear Illustrations of Horse Herd LifeThis is not a training guide for horsemanship, but the illustrations in this book did more to help me understand my horse's behavior than most of the training guides on the market. If you want a lot of text explaining why horses do what they do and how to get them to do what you want them to do, this is not the book for you. The text that is in the book challenges the conventional view of horse herd behavior that focus on an "alpha mare" and stallion running the show with submissive ... Read More Rating: - Excellent scientific resource - but not for casual horse ownerAs a student of animal behavior and animal welfare, focusing on equine welfare, this book was a MUST for my bookshelf, as it will be for anyone studying animal behavior. While McDonnell gives a lot of great information in the foreward for the lay reader, I believe the ethogram itself would be a bit of a disappointment to the casual horse owner who might be looking for a description of what each behavior MEANS, which is not what an ethogram is, of course, though this book does sometimes include such ... Read More Rating:  - Great book, with a set purposeEthograms are used in the science world to document common normal, and abnormal, behaviors. They can be helpful in gathering data, or learning about the wide range of common behaviors that are typical to a species. If you want a book that *talks* about behavior, check out some of the author's other books. If you want to see (drawn) examples of what horses do, check this book out. It is very facinating, even if you watch horses regularly. Again, this is an ethogram- it gives a basic description ... Read More Rating:  - WOW! Never read a book that was so useless!Would you buy a dictionary where you would look up a word, find it, and then there was no meaning or usage listed under it? Then pass this book up! There are many behaviors listed in this book. Some with drawings (not really professional but you get the idea of them). Example: You have a drawing with a description of the act; THAT'S IT! No explanation of why it is occurring, possible impact, not even an utterance! Anyone can sit there and watch a horse for a week and ... Read More Rating: - Like no ordinary horse behavior book.This was a GREAT TREAT! It's like an illustrated dictionary of horse behavior, listing the natural behaviors of horses, from the cute little early behaviors of newborn foals to the complex social and sexual interactions of adult mares and stallions. There are also some of the common abnormal behaviors that are happen to stabled horses. This book is just great if you have a horse or pony and are wondering about the natural basis of its behavior. It's neatly organized and well referenced, so would be ... Read More
