"Have you ever watched your horse do something that defies human logic and wondered, ""Why does my horse act this way?""

If so, you're not alone.

Horses are designed to survive in the wild, yet occasionally the wires between domestication and instinct get crossed. Meredith Hill is back with her equine expertise to explain:

✓ How horses act in the wild

✓ How some of these behaviors manifest in the stable

✓ And what you can do about it!

Have you ever wished your horse had the power of speech for just a few minutes, so they could explain why they're acting crazy? Horses can be complicated and mysterious creatures, but often, their behavior is the direct result of

✓ Pain and discomfort

✓ Prior training flaws

✓ Abuse or neglect in a former home

In many cases, behavioral issues can be addressed with empathy and training. In Why Does My Horse Act Like This? Understanding Equine Behavior in your New Horse,

Meredith Hill will explain the whys and hows of problem horses, including issues like

✓ Bucking

✓ Bolting

✓ Biting

✓ And acting politely when being handled by humans

Ms. Hill also addresses when to call a professional, and how to gauge whether a particular professional is going to be beneficial for you and your horse.

As responsible horse owners, we want our equine companions to be healthy and happy. In Why Does My Horse Act Like This? Understanding Equine Behavior in your New Horse, Meredith Hill helps you understand what your horse's behavior is telling you, and what you can do to make life a little more comfortable for everyone involved.

"Meredith Hill is a very ""horsey"" person who grew up in a very non-horsey environment. Still, armed with endless determination, she is now proud to count over 30 years of participation in the equestrian community. Ms.Hill has spent many years participating in the ultimate equestrian networking activity: cleaning stalls. Her manure technician skills have provided her with insight into a USDF competition barn, several A-circuit hunter barns, an American Warmblood breeding facility, an equine rescue and rehabilitation center, and a more private, backyard barns than she can remember. Through these connections, she's been able to dabble in a wide variety of disciplines including dressage, hunter/jumper, reining, western pleasure, trail riding, three-day eventing, and barrel racing.Given the diversity of her experiences, Ms. Hill has learned a great deal about horses and horse keeping. She has attended and participated in seminars and clinics with top equestrians, including Jane Savoie, John Lyons, Jim Wofford, and Lendon Gray. Though she competed with her college's Intercollegiate Horse Show Association team, she stepped away from the show ring after college to focus on horse care and rehabilitation. Today, she dabbles in dressage with her off the track Thoroughbred gelding, Red, and her AQHA mare, Belle.Download your free checklist now!If you've ever checked out an equine supply website or stopped by a tack shop, you might find your head swimming regarding all of the stuff people buy to help them care for their horses.
