applied equine behavior

Applied equine behavior is the study and practical use of how horses behave and interact in various environments. It involves understanding their natural instincts, communication, and social structures to improve their care, training, and handling. By observing and interpreting horse behavior, trainers and caretakers can create safer and more effective methods for working with them. This approach enhances the welfare of horses, promotes better human-horse relationships, and supports training strategies that respect the horse's needs and instincts. Overall, it’s about applying behavioral knowledge to improve both horse and human experiences.
