Day 3

Hello everyone,

Today we focus on behaviour.  There are readings and visual resources, as well as, some fun online activities. 

An interesting article crossed my desk from the horse.com This pawing is not impatience when you take too long to find the treat bag!

I especially appreciate the quote:

“Horses seldom do something that doesn’t have a purpose,” said Katherine Houpt, VMD, PhD, Dipl. ACVB, professor emerita at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in Ithaca, New York. “And that purpose isn’t to be annoying!”
