2016, Behavioural ProcessesCitation Excerpt :This finding is supported by Proops et al. (2013) who found that horses seem to develop the skill of following human gestures as they age and that lifetime experience plays an important role in this development. Horses are herd animals, thought anecdotally to be capable of learning and copying behaviour from conspecifics (Lindberg et al., 1999; Krueger and Flauger, 2007; Ninomiya, 2007). A common training method that is typically utilized by horse trainers is one in which human handlers employ observational learning methodology to train younger horses by using older, well-trained horses (Murphy and Arkins, 2007).
