Article Synopsis
- Societal concerns about animal welfare now include high-level sport horses, especially highlighted during recent Olympics, leading to public inquiries about their living conditions.
- Animal welfare studies emphasize the "3Fs" for equine welfare: access to forage, freedom of movement, and social interactions, but the challenges for sport horses in meeting these needs are not well understood.
- A field study assessing 56 high-level sport horses found significant variability in access to the "3Fs," showing that those with fewer restrictions had better welfare outcomes.
