Horse SensesSusan McBane, UK.
May 2011

• Horses perceive the world differently from humans
  because their senses developed differently
  through evolution to cope with different ways of
  living and surviving. Horses are essentially
  prey/flight animals. The horses senses therefore
  determine how the world appears to him and how he
  reacts to it. As the horses perception and
  understanding are very different to ours
  sometimes their reaction to events and their
  surroundings seem strange to us. In this book the
  author compares the horses sensory organs with
  those of humans.
• The five senses are covered each section
  explains how the horse's sense works and then
  this is related to care, behaviour and riding,
  explaining why some practices are appropriate and
  why some are not. The behavioural aspect of
  dealing with horses is emphasised throughout.
  Useful for all horse owners, horse breeders and
  trainers who wish to gain a better understanding
  of how the horses senses function, and for
  veterinary students and practitioners.
• The author explains how the five senses define
