• Horse-training techniques that may defy the principles of learning theory and compromise welfare (2010, background): “In all cases, we propose that such techniques may be avoided if trainers, coaches, riders, and handlers were educated in training principles that emerge from learning theory, ethology, and cognition (McGreevy and McLean, 2007).”
• The application of learning theory in horse training (2017, methodology): “…methods used to train certain classes of animals (e.g. sea mammals used in oceanaria and dogs), and in the early twenty-first century, horse training literature began to be informed about the application of learning theory (e.g. McGreevy, 2007; McGreevy and McLean, 2007, 2010; McLean, 2005a, 2008).”
• Ethical equitation: Capping the price horses pay for human glory (2010, background): “Given that negative reinforcement is the critical control mechanism in equitation (McGreevy and McLean, 2007),”
