An Exploration Into the Impact of Equine Stakeholders' Curiosity-Driven Behavior on Equine Training Approach Choice, Learning Theory Awareness, and Application
Gaps in equine stakeholders' understanding and application of learning theory principles continue to be identified within the equestrian industry. Differences in curiosity-driven behavior and engagement with diverse training approaches may contribute to variation in learning theory awareness and…

Quantifying Equine Head Morphology: Implications for Lateral Noseband Measurement Tools
In equestrian competitions, a measuring device passing beneath the noseband on the dorsal nasal bone is used to determine noseband laxity. A supplementary location may be useful should the horse become distressed, or if it is apparent that the outcome of the noseband check is influenced by…

Effects of Rider Weight and Pony Age on Epaxial Muscle Pain Sensitivity and Heart Rate Variability in Exmoor Ponies: A Preliminary Study
Welfare concerns surrounding rider–horse weight ratios are central to equestrianism's Social Licence to Operate. This crossover study investigated the effects of rider weight and pony age on epaxial mechanical nociceptive thresholds (MNTs) and heart rate variability (HRV) in trekking Exmoor ponies…

Agency Through Design: Behavior-Specific Use Patterns of Horses Across Four Different Turnout Areas in the Netherlands
Equine turnout areas are commonly designed to maximize open space. However, research in more naturalistic settings suggests that horses use landscape features selectively. This study examined how horses' spatial use patterns vary across turnout designs with different levels of structural…

Evaluating the Relationship Across Physical Activity Domains and Chronic Pain in Adult American Equestrians: A Secondary Analysis
Chronic pain (CP) in equestrians may disrupt rider–horse movement patterns, communication, and welfare. Physical activity (PA) is used to manage CP in other populations. Equestrians engage in high PA across equestrian (EqA), barn work (BW), and non-EqA domains, yet still report high CP rates. This…

Tracking Horse and Rider Speed During Warm-Up and CCI4* Short and Long Format Cross-Country Using a Commercial Wearable GPS Sensor
There is some evidence that appropriate warm-up and pacing are key to successful performance and injury risk reduction in equestrian endurance and horseracing. To date, only limited studies of warm-up for eventing cross-country have been reported, and to our knowledge, there has been no report of…

What Is Welfare? A Qualitative Study into Perceptions of Equine Welfare of Horse Owners
While existing literature broadly addresses equine welfare, limited research has explored horse owners' perspectives on welfare within the contexts of ownership. This study aimed to identify aspects of care and practice that horse owners consider essential for safeguarding equine welfare. An online…

Preliminary Insights into Resting Patterns of Young Thoroughbred Racehorses During Initial Training
Rest and sleep are key components of equine welfare and athletic performance, particularly in young racehorses adapting to the demands of early training. This preliminary study evaluated resting behavior in five two-year-old Thoroughbreds during their initial adaptation to stabling and after their…

Assessing the Resilience Factor: A Preliminary Investigation into a Multifaceted Approach to Individual Parasite Control in Thoroughbred Foals
Standard equine management practices contribute to the high prevalence of strongyles and to the need for deworming. Horse performance can be evaluated by following early body development. This study aimed to determine the behavior and body growth associated with strongyle fecal egg count (FEC) in…

What Is Understood About the Welfare of Horses Working in Australian Cattle Feedlots: An Introductory Survey
Ridden horses are commonly used to manage cattle in feedlots in a range of countries, including Australia. While there is public concern about the welfare of cattle in feedlots, research into feedlot working horses and their welfare is lacking to date. Accordingly, an online survey was initially…

A Preliminary Investigation into Forage Dunking Behavior in Horses in the UK
Forage dunking refers to a horse collecting forage with its mouth, dunking it in a nearby water source, and eating the dampened forage as it normally would. It is primarily thought to function as a method to rehydrate the forage or is observed when dental pathology is present, though limited…

Demographic Predictors of Chronic Pain in American Equestrians: A Secondary Analysis
Equestrians report a high rate of chronic pain (CP), which can disrupt horse-rider movement patterns, communication, and safety. Equestrian-related risk factors (i.e., participation level) for reporting CP are well established, while demographic predictors remain underexamined in American…

A Preliminary Study Exploring the Relationship Between Exercise Regimes and Sleep-Related Behavior in Stabled Horses
Exercise is a recognized time cue for circadian rhythms, influencing sleep architecture and quality across diverse human populations. While its timing and intensity affect sleep outcomes in humans, little is known about how exercise impacts sleep in horses, particularly those with early morning or…

A Preliminary Investigation into the Relationship Between Under-Rug Temperatures and Sleep-Related Behavior in Stabled Horses Using Non-Invasive Temperature Measures
Stabled horses are managed within a domestic environment, where the effects of artificial lighting and bedding on sleep have been reported. Beyond the environment, equine husbandry practices such as rugging or clipping are influential on equine thermoregulation. However, the influence of these…

The Immediate Effect of Pole Work and Kinesiotape on Engagement of Rectus Abdominis and Longissimus Dorsi Activity, Pelvic Symmetry, and Kinematics in Horses
This study investigated the acute effects of ground poles and abdominal kinesiotaping (KT) on rectus abdominis (RA) and longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle activity, pelvic symmetry, and selected kinematic variables in eleven horses trotting in hand. Four conditions were evaluated: control, poles, KT…

Alignment Between Gait Parameters and Judging of Canter Quality in International Vaulting Horses
Like most aesthetic sports, judging performance in equestrian vaulting is subjective. The complexity of judging often exceeds human cognitive capacities and can give rise to bias. The horse score makes up 25% of the total score, including the general quality of the canter and training level of the…

Effects of a Heated Vibration Massage Pad on Horses: Randomized, Blinded Measures of Mechanical Nociception, Behavior, and Spinal and Limb Kinematics
Therapy devices are widely marketed to horse owners, claiming to improve well-being, support musculoskeletal function, and aid injury rehabilitation, though many claims lack scientific evidence. This study evaluated the immediate (part A) and four-week (part B) effects of a heated vibration massage…
