Articles & Research

During the year 2022/2023, I worked on a case study about species-appropriate equine husbandry and its practical implementation. I am now publishing the theoretical, scientific background (literature review) of this case study in order to offer an added value to multiple people. The literature review is only available in English language.

The document deals with the following topics:

1. The current equine husbandry situation in Germany

2. The Five Domains model by David Mellor (horse welfare)

3. Evidence-based practice vs. Practice-based evidence

4. How private horse owners will consider scientific research

      in a decision-making process instead of looking at what is common practice
