Seriously, though...I'll bet the horses in the study would be a lot different if allowed to spend some time out just being a horse.I would think your horses getting to be out to pasture every day would keep them pretty fresh mentally and physically.
Thanks for sharing the article.

Subject: [haflingerfriends] Did anyone see this article?
I believe I read it in this month's Equus magazine.

What are your thoughts? I was a little surprised, since we've added dressage
to our horses' repertoire so they wouldn't be bored with Therapeutic Riding
- which is the most difficult work for a horse due to the number of
unbalanced riders they have.
Our horses are outside 24/7 - except, of course, when working. I'm hoping
this study is more indicative of stalled horses than those that are in
paddocks.
