Combining an in-depth exploration of equine behaviour with clinical practice from a new progressive perspective, Applied Equine Behaviour focuses not just on the horse's behaviour, but on the behaviour of the human interacting with the horse. Acclaimed Clinical Equine Behaviourist Debbie Busby delivers evidence-based knowledge that will equip readers with the understanding and skills to become effective equine behaviour consultants.
Supported by considered discussion of how and why horses sometimes struggle to cope, the book comprehensively explains how to consult on and treat a range of equine behaviour problems. Rather than providing a formulaic “here’s the problem; here’s how to fix it”, Busby encourages readers to develop a critical biopsychosocial evaluation based on an understanding of how horses evolved, their ethological and physiological adaptations, how they learn, and how their welfare and wellbeing can be assessed.
· Part 1 explains theories of equine evolution and the thin veneer of domestication.
· Part 2 describes psychological and physiological theories of how horses learn, and how this can be applied in training and behaviour modification.
· Part 3 illustrates this with reference to relevant legislation and widely used animal welfare models, as well as assessments of abnormal and stereotypical behaviour and practical aspects of measuring welfare.
· Part 4 turns to the theory and practice of behaviour consulting, in three chapters divided into elements of behavioural assessment and treatment planning.
Bridging the gap between science and practice, this book is a must-read for equine behaviour and veterinary students, equine behaviour consultants and practitioners, horse trainers, interested leisure riders and competition riders. It will empower equine professionals to combine behavioural and welfare knowledge with counselling and coaching skills to support horse owners in a mutual flourishing, enriching the lives of both species.
After an equestrian career spent teaching riding, and competing in showing, eventing, show jumping and dressage, Debbie Busby founded her successful international equine behaviour consultancy in 2006. As a clinical equine behaviourist she works with vets and horse owners to resolve varied and complex equine behaviour problems, and she was only the third equine behaviourist in the UK to be granted registration at the highest level with the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC). Debbie supervises university masters students as well as mentoring and assessing new behaviourists coming through professional routes, and acts as expert witness in equine legal cases. Also a practising psychotherapist, she has developed a Transactional Analysis model to promote effective communication between horse owners, vets and paraprofessionals. Debbie writes books and articles and consults and lectures internationally, delivering presentations and workshops on all aspects of equine behaviour, consulting and human behaviour change. She has had academic articles published in a number of peer reviewed journals and speaks at academic and professional conferences around the world. She has a Psychology BSc and a Masters degree in Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare, and is currently conducting interdisciplinary doctoral research in horse-human relationships at Manchester Metropolitan University in the contexts of riding, training and interspecies wellbeing.
