Equine Stress Crash Course: Reading Stress in Horse Facial Expressions
This tutorial focuses on the facial expression of horses and how to use certain signals to tell if your horse is stressed and/or starting to go over threshold. Be it physical, mental or emotional discomfort, this mini class will help you learn to differentiate between relaxed and stressed horse expressions and learn the subtleties of some equine stress signals.
Mainly focusing on using the eye of the horse to see stress, with use of comparisons to help viewers see the difference between a relaxed eye and stressed one. This class also goes into more detail on other facial signals that can signify stress as well as how to investigate what some contributing factors to the stress may be, including the tack and equipment being used.
This is invaluable information for catching health problems before they get out of hand in addition to monitoring your horse's stress levels so you can help them to better self regulate.
This is an hour and a half webinar that includes many different photos, videos and other comparisons showing horse stress signals.
