Equitation Science (Pre-order only) by Paul McGreevy, Andrew McLean

Equitation Science is a rapidly emerging discipline. The goal is to foster an enhanced understanding of how horses think and learn, and to use their natural behaviour to train, ride or compete with them in as fair a manner as possible. The welfare of the horse is a key consideration, along with improving rider safety.
The book combines traditional and emergent techniques, incorporating learning theory into an equine training system suitable for all levels. The welfare consequences of training and competing horses under different protocols are explored.
This book is the first to draw together the principles of equitation science into a much-needed textbook and reference.
