Horses
in Stressful Situations
By the PATH Intl.
Equine Welfare Committee
In order to understand
stress in our horse, we need to look at how horses would live naturally
without human interference. They would live in a herd, eating little and
often as they grazed on pasture. We would see them using fight or flight
as a means of protection against predators.
When we change this environment in any way that restricts
their freedom or diet, we create stress. Read more
