| description | The traditional housing of riding school horses consists of individual housing in boxes or tie-stalls with a couple of hours of turnout every day. Group housing is increasing in popularity and may be a way to tend to the horse's natural behaviour and needs. In this study the behaviour of riding school horses in different housing systems was observed during turnout, during grooming and saddling, and during riding lessons. Results showed generally only small differences between housing systems. Group-housed horses tended to engage in more positive behaviours and more positive social interactions during turnout, while individually housed horses tended to show more threats and aggression during grooming and saddling. Based on the results from this study, no conclusions can be drawn on the welfare of riding school horses in the different housing systems. |

Group housing is increasing in popularity and may be a way to tend to the horse's natural behaviour and needs. In this study the behaviour of riding school horses in different housing systems was observed during turnout, during grooming and saddling, and during riding lessons.

Group-housed horses tended to engage in more positive behaviours and more positive social interactions during turnout, while individually housed horses tended to show more threats and aggression during grooming and saddling.

Ridskolehästar hålls traditionellt i boxar eller spiltor med några timmars utevistelse per dag. Lösdrift blir allt mer populärt och kan vara ett sätt att tillfredsställa hästens naturliga beteende och behov. I denna studie undersöktes effekten av inhysningssystem på ridskolehästars beteende vid hagvistelse, vid skötsel och sadling samt vid ridning. Resultaten visade att det inte fanns så stora skillnader mellan inhysningssystemen vad gäller hästarnas beteende. Hästar i lösdrift hade en tendens att ägna sig åt mer positiva beteenden och mer positiva sociala interaktioner under hagvistelsen, medan hästar i individuell uppstallning hade en tendens att visa mer hot och aggression vid skötsel och sadling. Inga slutsatser kan dras vad gäller ridskolehästars välfärd i olika inhysningssystem. SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health (until 231231) 2017 H2 eng swe https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/13104/ |
