Psychology project ?

[Rimrock]

First time posting so my apologies if in wrong spot.

I've completed my stage 1 courses and I'm planning on going through with stage 2 etc.

Any ideas out there for a Psychology Project would be appreciated. I have a couple of ideas but nothing concrete as yet.

I'm in Preston, Lancs.We have Yard and a round pen. Foal, Yearling, 2yo, 3yo, and 4 others,

Thanks

Hi St4ffsmum, not sure how to PM you. If you can PM me i can reply. I'd love to have a look at the work you started to see if I can take it further.

Sherbetdip not sure i could fix him but I'm not far so feel free to PM and pop round if you like.

Debutante, I've replied to your PM.

Thanks for that. Anyone any ideas for a Psych Project let me know. Not being lazy just want to know if there is any articular issues i can use.

ooo, I got a few, but wanna do them too....one I was thinking about was......"why do (some) horses graze happily in field that is fenced with lets say...leccy tape, but turn into wild creatures when you lead them to the other side of that flimsy bit of tape...."I presume that in the field they can see the flappy thing in the hedge, the broken trailer, the car etc....so why does it become an issue when taken to the other side of fence?? Is this behaviour typicaly seen in horses with other common handleing issues? Therefor, can you start to define horse problems and categorise (sp, sorry) typical senarios of how these behaviour problems have arisen...(baring in mind human handling techniques are often route of bad maners etc)??

nooope, sorry, i lost myself.....

dose that make sense?? I have loads of ideas but am really struggling to work out what it is Im trying to find out....and then put it into words, never mind do the actuall project!!
