Horse Welfare Assessment

Horse Welfare Assessment is a systematic way to evaluate a horse’s well-being by examining various aspects of its health, behavior, environment, and management. It involves checking physical condition, cleanliness, diet, space, and social interactions, as well as observing signs of stress or discomfort. The goal is to ensure the horse is living in a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment, and to identify any issues early. Regular assessments help owners and caretakers make informed decisions to improve the horse’s quality of life and prevent problems related to neglect, poor handling, or unsuitable surroundings.
