There is not much research done on the influence of sympathetic training on the emotional reaction of horses. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the emotional response and the stress level in horses to two sympathetic training methods: (1) with the use of the “round pen technique” (RP),and (2) in which the RP was not applied (SH). Twenty two naive half-bred Anglo-Arab horses (2.5 years ±3...
The study covered 89 Polish warm-blooded half-bred mares (51 representing Polish Noble Half-Breds, 23 Wielkopolski and 15 Małopolski horses) which went through a 60-day training (terminated with a performance test) at the Biały Bór training centre. Assessed was motion and jump parameters of individual mares (recorded with a digital video camera) and the heart rate (HR) index – based on ongoing telemetric...
The aim of the study was to define the influence of the selected factors (gender, age, transportation time, riding distance and air temperature during the ride) on the cortisol secretion and finding a correlation between the hormone level and the horses’ sport results (veterinary parameters and the ride route parameters). The research was performed on 38 Arabian pure breed horses taking part in the...
The group of 36 warm-blooded half-bred horses (18 stallions and 18 mares) and their riders (20 men and 16 women), who ended three-day-events, were selected for the study. The horses were aged 4 to 6 years, while the riders were 19 to 34-year-old. The saliva samples were collected after each phase of the competitions. The Cortisol concentration was determined using an immunoassay method. The following...
The aim of this study was to measure emotional arousal in young race horses as expressed by heart rate (HR) during routine situations of grooming, hoof cleaning, and while at rest, having been transported from the environment of home stud farm to that of an unfamiliar training centre. A hypothesis was developed that the change of environment is a source of heavy stress for young race horses. The investigation...
