This is a practical, accessible guide to understanding horses, from the inside out, that bridges the gap between military style training and horse whispering techniques. Abigail Hogg shares her knowledge of working with horses and riders in a range of cultural settings. The author draws on her extensive studies of horse behaviour to give sympathetic, informed and intelligent advice on how to get the best out of both horse and rider. Case studies, colour diagrams, tables and checklists describe in graphic detail how and why horses behave as they do.

Abigail Hogg has studied and taught alongside Lucy Rees (author of the seminal The Horse's Mind). Abigail is currently a member of the Equine Behaviour Forum and the Natural Horse Group. She lives in Todmorden, Lancashire.
