Environmental Enrichment for Horses

Nicole Miggitsch MSc

Wednesday 16 September 2026 at 7:30pm

Environmental enrichment is increasingly popular to establish positive welfare in the management of zoo animals and livestock, yet scientific evidence in domestic horses remains limited. This webinar presents findings from an international survey of 132 barn owners and managers across 16 countries, examining the prevalence and perceived effects of forage, structural, and sensory enrichment on horses in turnout areas. Results revealed a significant association between enrichment provision and positive behavioural change, including increased foraging, play, and exploration behaviours, alongside reduced antagonistic and stereotypic behaviours. The session will explore welfare implications, practical applications, and the need for further controlled research to strengthen evidence-based enrichment strategies.
