I love how horses have different personalities; like stubbornness or, on the other hand, loving. In my opinion, horses can be hard to tame or get them used to human interactions. But, once it is over that scared or stubborn phase, the experiences with that horse become memorable. There is a connection I feel with horses that makes me feel good about what I am doing. When I am with a horse, I feel like he/she is listening to me because when I talk, they flip their ears towards me. I feel like horses are great best friends and I want to learn more about their behavior. ]]> 2019-01-17 22:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/julissanavarretee/weu7u0ft8ymb/wish/321938796 julissanavarretee https://padlet.com/julissanavarretee/weu7u0ft8ymb/wish/324293286 Please, scroll down to page 237 & 238. This section of the book explained a study on temperament done on 136 two year old thoroughbred horses. To get the best results, the horses were at the same level of training, same location, and had the same people caring for them. In collecting blood samples, DNA analysis showed two differences in the horse temperaments. In one form of polymorphisms, the horse had higher curiosity. And in the other form, the horse had lower vigilance about its surroundings.]]> 2019-01-25 13:03:34 UTC https://padlet.com/julissanavarretee/weu7u0ft8ymb/wish/324293286 julissanavarretee https://padlet.com/julissanavarretee/weu7u0ft8ymb/wish/324302260 This chart shows heritability estimates on a level of average and individual in stallions and in mares. The riding ability and character/temperament were measured. These two traits can effect economically because horse owners use their horses for competitions and if the horse has a low temperament or riding ability, they will likely not make much money for the horse owner. ]]> 2019-01-25 13:32:03 UTC https://padlet.com/julissanavarretee/weu7u0ft8ymb/wish/324302260 julissanavarretee https://padlet.com/julissanavarretee/weu7u0ft8ymb/wish/328107276 The following article states how in 2 or 3 days a horse is already searching around its mom.

The unconditioned stimuli is feeling pain and the unconditioned response is the horse avoiding to get hurt. Once the farrier starts putting shoes on and evoking pain to the horse, the farrier becomes the conditioned stimulus and the horse refusing to lift leg for the farrier is the conditioned response.

Mounting on different sides has a different meaning to the horse. So if mounted for the right side, the horse might get aroused or uncomfortable because he is associating that side with something other than the typical routine.

A positive reinforcement used is giving the horse a treat.
A negative reinforcement used is getting untied and removing of its harness.
Misbehaving in the inspection chute:
A positive punishment is adding reins to have better control of the horse.
A negative punishment is not receiving treats during or after being in inspection chute.]]> 2019-02-06 04:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/julissanavarretee/weu7u0ft8ymb/wish/328108554 julissanavarretee https://padlet.com/julissanavarretee/weu7u0ft8ymb/wish/331745796 Visual: horses tend to pull back their ear when they are angry or about to charge.
Auditory: horses neigh to communicate to other horses where they are located.
Tactile: a mother horse and foal join muzzles to say hello or show love.

Aggression was correlated with dominance rank."
