AlbakiReads Editorial

A behavioral history of the horse’s partnership with people

Edited by Daniel Mills, this volume places domestic horse behaviour in the long history of human–horse relations, beginning with domestication in the late Neolithic period. It connects the animal’s past and present behaviour with the varied roles horses have held in transport, labour, food production, and recreation. The book’s subject is therefore broader than practical horse handling alone: it examines how domestication and sustained human use frame the modern domestic horse and its place in society.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Animal science students and professionals
  • People working with horses in a professional capacity
  • Horse owners interested in behaviour and domestication
