Riassunto

What can be done with a horse that's hard to bridle, won't stand for a new farrier, or kicks while being ridden? Why would a sweet horse suddenly turn mean? How can an owner calm a horse that becomes a nervous wreck at shows? What should be done if a gelding attacks a mare? In The Horse Behavior Problem Solver, equine behavior expert Jessica Jahiel offers proven solutions to these and other common horse behavior problems.

This comprehensive handbook uses a friendly question-and-answer format. Each question includes a detailed real-life case study. The author identifies the source of the trouble and offers practical, proven techniques that can help solve the problem. The situations presented are common to all horses and horse lovers, and Jahiel's advice is applicable to every breed of horse and to both Western and English riders.

Here are answers to 101 common horse behavior problems including:

* How to handle a frightened or untrained horse
* How to help a horse that is head-shy, afraid of the vet, or unwilling to stand for the farrier
* What to do with a horse that kicks, rears, bucks, or bites
