Abstract | The ideals of equestrian technique combine art and science. Therefore students of equitation encounter measurable variables such as rhythm, tempo and impulsion alongside more ethereal ones such as outline and harmony. This mixture accounts for many of the idiosyncrasies of equestrianism including the subjective scoring of performance in dressage tests, the elusiveness of perfection even at an elite level of competition and the difficulty of expressing equestrian technique in empirical terms (Roberts, 1992). This chapter will describe and offer examples of the unwelcome behavioural responses horses produce under saddle. Two broad sections are then proposed to allow the reader to consider unwelcome behavioural responses caused directly by humans as distinct from those attributable more to the horse than the rider. Ultimately the responsibility for problems in the ridden horse lies with humans since we have undertaken the domestication and exploitation of equids. Therefore it is accepted that the dichotomy is not absolute. The chapter closes with a |

Title | Living in gourps: Evolutionary Perspective | Type | Book Chapter | ||
Year | Publication | Social Behavior in Farm Animals | Abbreviated Journal | ||
Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
Keywords | |||||
Abstract | An understanding of social behavior is increasingly necessary in farm animal husbandry as more animals are housed in groups rather than in individual stalls or pens. There may be economic or welfare reasons for such housing. This book is the first to specifically address this important subject. The chapters fall into three broad subject areas: concepts in social behavior; species specific chapters; current issues. Authors include leading experts from Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. | ||||

Title | Estimating Kaimanawa feral horse population size and growth | Type | Conference Article | ||
Year | Publication | SCIENCE & RESEARCH INTERNAL REPORT 185 | Abbreviated Journal | ||
Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
Keywords | |||||
Abstract | Animal flight behaviour in response to aircraft could have a profound influence on the accuracy and precision of aerial estimates of population size but is rarely investigated. Using independent observers on the ground and in the air we recorded the presence and behaviour of 17 groups, including 136 individually marked horses, during a helicopter count in New Zealand’s Kaimanawa Mountains. We also compared the helicopter count with ground-based estimates using mark-resight and line-transect methods in areas ranging from 20.5 to 176 km2. Helicopter counts were from 16% smaller to 54% larger than ground-based estimates. The helicopter induced a flight response in all horse groups monitored. During flight, horse groups traveled from 0.1 up to 2.75 km before leaving the ground observer’s view and temporarily changed in size and composition. A tenth of the horses were not counted and a quarter counted twice. A further 23 (17%) may have been counted twice but only two of the three observers’ records concurred. Thus, the helicopter count over-estimated the marked sub-population by at least 15% and possibly by up to 32%. The net over-estimate of the marked sub-population corresponded to the 17% and 13% difference between helicopter counts and ground-based estimates in the central study area and for the largest area sampled, respectively. Feral horse flight behaviour should be considered when designing methods for population monitoring using aircraft. We identify the characteristics of the helicopter count that motivated horse flight behaviour. We compared our own recent estimate of population growth from measures of fecundity and mortality (λ = 1.096 with an earlier-published one (λ = 1.182, where r = 0.167) that had been derived by interpolating between the available history of single counts. Our model of population growth, standardised aerial counts, and historical estimates of annual reproduction suggest that the historical sequence of counts since 1979 probably over-estimated growth because count techniques improved and greater effort was expended in successive counts. We used line-transect, markresight and dung density sampling methods for population monitoring and discuss their advantages and limitations over helicopter counts. |

Title | mustering of feral horses | Type | Manuscript | ||
Year | Publication | Ecology | Abbreviated Journal | ||
Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
Keywords | |||||
Abstract | Background Feral horses (Equus caballus) can cause significant environmental damage and losses to rural industries. Although considered pests, feral horses are also a resource, providing products such as pet meat for the domestic market and meat for human consumption for the export market. Control methods include trapping, mustering exclusion fencing, ground shooting and shooting from helicopters. Feral horses are mustered by helicopter, motorbike or on horseback, sometimes with the assistance of coacher horses. Once mustered into yards, net traps or fenced paddocks, the horses are usually sold to abattoirs for slaughter which can offset the costs of capture and handling. Less commonly, they are sold as riding horses or relocated to reserves or horse sanctuaries. Where there is no market for them or where removal may be too costly or impractical e.g. in conservation areas or remote areas without access to transportation, horses are sometimes destroyed by shooting in the yards. This standard operating procedure (SOP) is a guide only; it does not replace or override the legislation that applies in the relevant State or Territory jurisdiction. The SOP should only be used subject to the applicable legal requirements (including OH&S) operating in the relevant jurisdiction. |

Title | EVIDENCE OF MODULARITY FROM PRIMATE ERRORS DURING TASK LEARNING | Type | Conference Volume | ||

Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
Keywords | |||||
Abstract | The last two decades have seen a great deal of theorising and speculation about the modular nature of human intelligence, as well as a rise in use of modular architectures in artificial intelligence. Nevertheless, whether such models of natural intelligence are well supported is still an issue of debate. In this paper, I propose that the most important criteria for modularity is specialised representations. I present a modular model of primate learning of the transitive inference task, and propose an extension to this model which would explain task-learning results in other domains. I also briefly relate this work to both neuroscience and established AI learning architectures. |
