Synopsis

Sue McDonnell, Ph.D., the foremost authority in the field of horse behavior, has compiled a comprehensive catalogue, or ethogram, of all known equine behaviors to help horse owners and enthusiasts, as well as serious students of horse behavior, better understand their equine companions. In The Equid Ethogram: A Practical Field Guide to Horse Behavior, McDonnell details in a concise and organized format a wide range of horse behaviors, including social interactions, daily activities, breeding behavior, interaction between stallions, and abnormal behavior. Each behavior is formatted with a name, illustration and/or photograph, text description, and any other pertinent information. This field guide, the result of McDonnell's 15 years of observing horses in nature, gives a fascinating look into the equine social structure and how horses survive. Approachable layout will appeal both to veterinary students and general horse owners. International direct mail campaign to universities, veterinary colleges and animal science programmes.
