The book begins by examining our complex historical interaction with the horse explaning our largely misplaced expectations of it's mentality and their dire consequences. The Truth About Horses explains how we can improve the trained horse's welfare by constructing a much clearer training model.
Written in a
narrative style this book details in-hand and under-saddle training as well as re-training. The chapter on conflict behaviour represents the
first time that a scientificaly valid explanation of problem behaviours in horses has been written for the understanding of the general public.
