| Résumé : | In this fascinating book Michael Schäfer examines the horse's point of view. He analyses the sense or senselessness of the behaviour of both partners and the horse's usefulness to man. The habits of the horse under natural conditions and in domestication, the rhythm of daily life, social and sexual behaviour, the birth of a foal, mare and foal relationships, and play behaviour are all described in the first part of the book. The second part deals with the proper language of the horse - sounds, mimicry, gestures and bearing. This book is the specific result of practical behavioural reseach by the author, who has tried to lessen the difficulties of understanding which exist between man and the horse, and to create a more pleasant relationship, free from friction. This work contains a mass of hitherto unpublished material and is a mine of information for the student of hippology. It is based on the author's experience as a veterinarian and scientist and, above all, on his life-connection with various breeds of horses. A guide for all horse-lovers who are not only interested in the physical but also the spiritual welfare of the animals. It is also a book of signal value in general behavioural investigation |
