Horse Training - by Cornelius Lohse (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

This book, written by a seasoned ethologist, utilizes up-to-date research in equine ethology to provide practical insights that help enhance the bond between horse and owner. The primary emphasis is deciphering equine body language and signals to augment comprehension and strengthen the connection between humans and horses.

The value of a horse typically depends on its ancestry, build or "conformation," and ability to complete specific tasks. Pedigree signifies the deliberate breeding of particular features. Having genetic solid lines for a specific feature or performance significantly enhances the value of a horse. Therefore, it is expected that the price of the horse will be higher if the characteristic is essential to you or the seller. Similarly, specific physical characteristics are significant for display and utilization. Consequently, horses with desirable conformation for a particular purpose will command a higher price.

A horse's performance of desired tasks, which includes its training and behavior, generally has a more significant impact on its value than its pedigree or conformation. The user's text is empty.
