Equine Behaviour in Mind : Applying Behavioural Science to the Way We Keep, Work and Care for Horses by Suzanne Rogers Intended for people who work with horses and for owners who want to learn more, Equine Behaviour in Mind provides ideas for practical ways that changes can be incorporated into daily interactions with horses. This book advocates a mindful approach to working with horses, encouraging the reader to think in a horse-centric way. Academic behavioural research is used to underpin understanding of horse behaviour and changes that can be made to positively improve horses'lives. The aim is to provide both the theory behind behaviour-minded horse management and the practical application to enable impactful changes to be made. Real world examples and case studies are provided to highlight these points. Horse behaviour is discussed in a range of contexts, including breeding, training and competing. A behaviourally minded approach to teaching riding, to medical and dental check-ups, to rehabilitation and rescue, and to driving change for horse welfare in both developed and developing countries is also covered.

Queen of Diamonds : Kittie Wilkins, Horse Queen of Idaho, and the Wilkins Horse Company by Philip A. Homan Presented October 17, 2012 at the Herrett Center for Arts and Science. Sponsored by the Herrett Forum and the Earl and Hazel Faulkner Endowment at the College of Southern Idaho. With her father, mother, and brothers, Kittie Wilkins was owner of the Wilkins Horse Company in the Bruneau Valley of Owyhee County, Idaho, and boss of the company's forty or so buckaroos that worked each spring and fall roundup. At the height of her career Wilkins owned 10,000 range-bred horses, all branded with her famous Diamond brand. It was the largest herd of horses owned by one family in the American West. Wilkins was the public face of the business. A woman of superlatives, she was the only woman at the turn of the twentieth century whose sole occupation was horse dealing -- hardly a more masculine career with its associations of hard bargaining, compromise, and dishonesty. Professor Homan has written about Kittie Wilkins for Idaho Magazine and he is writing the first book-length biography of Wilkins.
