Article Abstract:
Myths about equine behavior, cognition, and perception are often passed around from one horseman to another, based more on one personEs experience or interpretation than on scientific fact. Researchers from the nonprofit Equine Research Foundation in Aptos, California, United States of America, examine four types of equine behaviors and the assumptions behind them and investigate whether those assumptions are based on scientific truth or misconception and myth.
