Equine Education
Equine Education
Author: Marthe Kiley-WorthingtonRenowned equine author and researcher Marthe Kiley-Worthington now discusses how to educate your horse (or other equine). Always a stimulating and provocative writer, she will surprise you with what your horse can learn (her horses know about 200 words), and with how to teach them, using the voice and imitation in particular.
She questions many established ways of dealing with horses, and believes that positive reinforcement is always better than negative. The horse’s welfare and mental happiness is at the top of the agenda. Much emphasis is given to work on the ground, which can be started before backing. The book begins with a look at how the horse thinks; ways of teaching him; handling and working with the new born foal, backing and more advanced work.
Finally the author advises on problems that may arise. Marthe Kiley-Worthington uses her endurance horses to perform agricultural tasks around the farm, as a way of stretching their minds and improving their fitness; here’s how to do it. An invaluable guide for all those who aim to achieve the heights of communication and harmony with their equine.
