How Horses Feel and Think

Take a glimpse of the world seen from a horse's point of view



This is a fascinating journey into the emotional world seen from a horse's point of view. Thoroughly researched and presented, this book introduces the reader to the language of horses, to their astonishing mental capabilities and their deepest emotions. The information provided offers a good basis for horse owners to learn how to relate better to their horses, to develop a more harmonious relationship to their horses and to school their horses without using force but in a positive, pro-active way.



Written in an accessible, sometimes light-hearted way from a practical point of view, the author succeeds in bridging the gap between science and the daily experience of everybody dealing with horses.



Marlitt Wendt is a biologist specialising on behavioural sciences, and works as an adviser on behaviour issues for equestrian centres and often attends conferences as a speaker. She works to promote a non-violent relationship between humans and horses by encouraging better understanding.
