Ethological training of the horse

Abstract

Dressage is a fundamental pillar in the production process of horse breeders and guilds. Research on the subject shows its relationship with the physical and psychological state of the horse. In this context, there are different tendencies of taming that show innumerable alternatives from the confessional or traditional to the ethologies and without violence, all tending from their scope to achieve domesticated animals, attentive and ready to work. From this approach, the present article describes important aspects in order to encourage the reader to adopt a critical stance that will serve to broaden, in the future, the alternatives for the process of taming the horse.
