Description

Scentwork for Horses is a practical guide to implementing scentwork into the lives of domesticated horses, enhancing their behaviour, welfare, and the human-animal bond. Expert author Rachaël Draaisma provides a comprehensive introduction to this new discipline, covering theoretical background information on horse noses and biomechanics.

Readers will learn how to use scentwork to improve horses' learning abilities, development, socialisation, and their bond with handlers. They'll discover how to create engaging scentwork games and activities, such as exploring the environment, following footstep tracks, and participating in scentwork exercises.

This accessible guide is suitable for anyone working with horses at any level, from veterinarians and behaviourists to trainers, animal-assisted therapists, equine physiotherapists, and horse owners. By implementing scentwork into their daily routine, readers can strengthen the human-animal bond and bring numerous benefits to both themselves and their horses.
