Drawing together the principles of this emerging field, discussion centres around how horses think and learn, before exploring how to train, ride or compete with them in as fair a manner as possible and in ways that acknowledge their natural behaviour. The welfare consequences of training and competing horses under different protocols are explored.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eEquitation Science, Second Edition\u003c\/em\u003e is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students of equine science, equine studies or equine behaviour.
