Horses in Company
Horses in Company is an in-depth study of the social interaction and hierarchy of horses in the wild. The book discusses how the characteristic behaviour of the herd has developed in response to the natural selection pressures in their evolution, namely that horses are prey animals and not predators, and how this governs the behaviour of domestic horses living together. Through these studies, the book aims to help the reader understand the difficulties that arise between people and horses due to misunderstanding equine behaviour and motivation. Of great interest to all horse owners and riders and illustrated with 60 colour photographs.

4. Call me. I'll buy you a drink in return for your thoughts.
Especially, what does it mean, now that we know this, for our training and life with our horses?

A must read for horse owners and horse enthusiasts alike. Lucy Rees disproves the popular dominance theory and explains the harm it has done to the horse world and horse management. Reads like a research paper but definitely full of important information and worth the read!

February 8, 2022A must read for every horse owner.
Highly recommend this book to every horse owner. There are so many misconceptions about horses that affect how they are housed and handled in a damaging way and it's time these misconceptions were at last put to bed.

Horses in Company should be essential reading for all horse owners and enthusiasts. I recommend this book regularly through my EAL business. Lucy Rees busts so many myths we were all taught in the horse industry...
