Classical music reduces acute stress of domestic horses

Domestic horses are regularly subjected to stressful situations due to management practices, such as social isolation, transport and farriery or, in general due to exposure to new/sudden stimuli. These situations may eventually be harmful to the horses' welfare, possibly altering...

Do stabled horses show more undesirable behaviors during handling than field-kept ones?

Undesirable behavior (e.g. biting, kicking and aggression) during handling is a growing concern in the equine industry, and is likely to compromise horse-human relationships. The present study, carried out over 3 months, investigated the expression of desirable and undesirable behaviors...

Effects of three non-confrontational handling techniques on the behavior of horses during a simulated mildly aversive veterinary procedure

During mildly aversive healthcare procedures, horses often exhibit behaviors that may interrupt or prolong the procedure. Handler response often includes increased restraint and/or positive punishment, which can be ineffective or counterproductive. The purpose of this study was to compare the...

Does a commercial pheromone application reduce separation anxiety in separated horse pairs?

Horses may display increased locomotory and vocal activity when separated from their preferred partners, which can increase anxiety levels and injury risk. This study evaluated physiological and behavioral evidence of separation anxiety in separated preferred partners, and the potential stress-reducing...

The ‘social box’ offers stallions the possibility to have increased social interactions

In order to give individually housed stallions the opportunity to have more social interactions, the Swiss national stud farm investigated a separation wall called ‘social box'. Sixteen adult Franches-Montagnes breeding stallions were housed for 3 weeks in conventional boxes (CB)...

Behavior of laboratory beagles: Assessment in a standardized behavior test using novel stimuli and situations
