Description
The authors were Clémence Lesimple, Carole Fureix, Hervé Menguy, and others. Their 2010 PLOS ONE study examined how human handling affects horse welfare. Back pain is a known welfare problem in people and in animals. Vertebral problems are often reported in riding horses, yet they are not always spotted, and affected horses keep being worked.
The team studied nineteen horses from two riding centers. They linked direct human actions to signs of poor welfare in the horses. Better awareness of handlers' impact could spare working horses preventable pain. The study appeared in PLOS ONE in 2010.
