This video explains the main causes of behavioral deviations (behavioral abnormalities and established behavioral disorders or stereotypes such as cribbing and weaving) in horses. The main causes are: incorrect husbandry, management errors and errors in the use and handling of horses. BestTUPferd aims to optimize horse husbandry from the perspective of animal welfare. This means that horses are given the opportunity to feel comfortable in their husbandry and negative feelings such as stress, pain and suffering are avoided. Such animal-friendly husbandry always exists when horses can live out their species-typical behavior and are in good health. Horses tell us how they are feeling primarily through their behavior such as head banging, tongue play and circling. The video explains why it is worth checking horse husbandry for animal welfare. This applies to individual husbandry (horses in boxes, paddock boxes) as well as to group husbandry (horses in open-stall stables, exercise stables, open-stall stables, Paddock Paradise, Paddock Trail, etc.).
