From the Back Cover:

Horses have a language and a logic all their own, but humans can learn to understand what they are saying. Using a question-and-answer format and drawing on real-life case studies, equine behavior expert Jessica Jahiel, Ph.D., explains how a horse thinks and learns, why it acts as it does, and how you should respond.

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
* How to help older horses get rid of bad habits and keep young ones from developing them
