Equitation Science

Beschreibung

Written by two internationally recognised experts, Equitation Science is the first book to draw together the principles of this emerging field into a much-needed coherent source of information. The goal of equitation science is to enhance our understanding of how horses think and learn, and to use their natural behaviour to train, ride or compete with them in as fair a manner as possible. The welfare consequences of training and competing horses under different protocols are explored. Drawing on traditional and emergent techniques, this book incorporates learning theory into an ethical equine training system suitable for all levels. It also focuses on evidence-based approaches that improve rider safety. "Equitation Science is one of those rare books that is going to change the way we train and manage horses forever. It brings together a fundamental understanding of the way horses think and behave and presents a system of modern training that has the welfare of the horse at its core - it must be the foundation work for the next generation of professional and amateur riders and trainers. Riders will ride better, trainers will train better and we will have happier, healthier horses." --Wayne Channon, International Grand Prix Rider "I found this a very interesting and enlightening book. Equitation Science will help anyone involved with horses to understand them more and to be more effective in their training and education. The knowledge this brings to anyone involved with horses should help to make the horses' lives easier and therefore allow the partnership between humans and equines to flourish." --Yogi Breisner, British Eventing Performance Manager "Equitation Science is an ambitious and thorough look at an enormous range of areas, approaches and factors concerning the training of horses. The authors have an underlying theme to their text of scientifically assessing and then also promoting the use of ethical and humane methods of horse training to increase all sport horses' welfare and happiness within their sporting requirements. Equitation Science also provides an invaluable insight as to how and why what we do with our horses actually works." --Paul Tapner, Professional International Advanced Eventing Rider, Badminton CCI**** 2010 Winner

"This is a brilliant and extensive effort at explainingthe science behind many common correct and incorrect horsemanshipand training techniques. The first half on the science of behaviorand learning theory will not be for all readers, but for those whopersist, it builds the foundation for the second half wheremisbehaviors are dealt with from a scientific standpoint. This isan excellent addition to the scientific behavioralliterature." (Doddy's, 20 April 2012)'...the book is a must for every equine veterinary practice, equinetraining and teaching institution, and anyone concerned with horseswho wants to be involved with their own individual training anddevelopment. It is a thought provoking textbook that will help thenext generation of horse owners and equine enthusiasts to considerand reconsider their training and development protocols and willprovide many others with the knowledge that what they are doing isright - and, more importantly, why it is right. Ultimatelythis book can only have a positive effect on the welfare of thehorse and on the human- equine bond.' (The Vet Journal,December 2011)
