Have you ever watched your horse do something that made you wonder, "Why does my horse act this way?" Many horse behaviors that seem confusing, frustrating, or even irrational make much more sense when viewed through the natural instincts of the horse.

Drawing on decades of hands-on experience, Meredith Hill explains how equine behavior develops, how natural instincts appear in domestic settings, and what your horse's actions may be communicating.

In this audiobook, you'll discover:

* Why horses behave differently from people

* How natural herd instincts influence everyday behavior

* How domestication and stable life can affect a horse's responses

* How to better understand your horse's body language and behavior

* Common causes of behavioral problems, including pain, fear, previous training, and past neglect

* Why behaviors such as bucking, bolting, biting, and poor ground manners may develop

* When behavior may indicate that professional help is needed

A behavior problem isn't necessarily a sign of a "bad horse." It can be a response to instinct, discomfort, fear, learned behavior, or miscommunication. Learning to recognize those signals can help you better understand what's happening before deciding how to respond.

Whether you're a first-time horse owner or have spent years around horses, Why Does My Horse Act Like This? offers an accessible introduction to equine behavior that can help you better understand your horse and make more informed decisions about training, handling, and care.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This audio book does an admirable job of presenting them, somewhat through the Western lens. The steps the author laid out are really easy to follow too. I’m really glad I picked up this book.

The author is clearly knowledgeable and seems like he just wants each horse and its owner to develop a trusting relationship. This work on horse psychology was super interesting also! I highly recommend it.

Must Listen!!

Sometimes I feel like Meredith Hill is talking down to their audience in ‘how-to’ books. I didn’t get that vibe with this book at all.

Enjoyed!!

Excellent!

I’m getting more into the horse psychology aspects and what to do if my horse gets spooked now that we’re past the basic training. Thanks for such a great book. It’s helped me so much.

Well Done
