ABSTRACT

The sense of sight of horses is the sense least like that of humans. Despite considerable research, there is still much that is not known about the sense of sight in horses. However, our state of knowledge has progressed considerably during the decade preceding the date of publication of this book to the point where it is at least known that horses see the world very differently from the way it is seen by humans. This goes a long way to explaining the sometimes strange and erratic behaviour displayed by horses.
