In this archived webinar recording equine veterinary behaviourist Roxane Kirton explores a variety of common behavioural problems seen in mares and why they may occur. She considers what is normal mare behaviour and how management, training, hormones and the reproductive drive can impact the horse’s emotional and physical state.
Roxane also examines whether chestnut mares behave differently to those with other coat colours.
Topics include:
• A review of normal mare behaviour and reproductive physiology
• The hormonal/reproductive impact on behaviour
• Possible causes of unwanted behaviour in mares - including pain, stressors, management and training
• The effect of coat colour on behaviour
After the presentation, Roxane answered questions from the audience.
