Dr Janne W Christensen on day two of the #equitationsciencecourse talking about stress, defining stress and why stress can be both very good and bad #animalstress #horsewelfare

Eläinlääkäri Kati Tuomola piti ansiokkaan esityksen ravihevosten suuterveydestä NOVA- kurssilla Ruotsissa. Suututkimuksen tulokset herättivät paljon keskustelua ja huolta ravihevosten hyvinvoinnista. #equitationsciencecourse #hevoset #ravit

And we’re off - online this year🤓 PhD course in equitation science #equitationsciencecourse #slu #equitationscience

Such a pleasure to be talking about my favourite nerd-topic at our course on #equitationscience this morning! There’s room for so much more research and I hope I stimulated curiosity to do so in the future 🥸 #equitationsciencecourse #slu #novauniversitynetwork

Round up of a great second day of the #equitationsciencecourse with practical demonstrations of fear tests, social transmission testing and habituation. I also got to talk about one of my favorite topics sensory abilities of horses. #horsescience

Puunpainamisen ja muun häiriökäyttäytymisen taustalla on monenlaisia hyvinvointiongelmia. Häiriökäyttäytymisen estäminen ei ole ratkaisu. Ongelmaan pitää puuttua muokkaamalla hevosen elinolosuhteita sille sopivimmiksi. #equitationsciencecourse #horses #hevoset #ratsastus #ravit
