Abstract:
Horseshoe is used to avoid the failures of horse's hooves due to extreme impact and wear loads. The horse's hooves are repeatedly subjected to loadings during walking, trotting, running and jumping. In this research, we introduce a newly developed horseshoes made of polymeric composite materials. The horseshoes are placed inside the leather boot; it is a specially designed for horse. The process of making horseshoes and horse boots were discussed and the responses of the horse shoes as well as horses were analyzed. The horses were subjected to a series of testing, e.g., walking, trotting, and running. The result of the tests indicate that horseshoes and horse boots are quite strong, light, and safe to be used on horses. The response of horses shows that the horseshoe and boots are quite comfortable for them. This can be seen because there are no significant behavioral changes of the horse before and after wearing the boot. After being used to, it was shown that there is no damage or crack of the horseshoe. Therefore, it can be concluded that the composite horseshoe is safe and good to be used as horseshoe material.

Abstract:
AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate how difficult it was to halter and separate a horse (Equus caballus) from a group for riding or training purposes and to describe how human-horse interactions could affect this common procedure. A total of 20 different horse groups, with a minimum of five horses in each, were studied on 14 farms in Norway, from June to October 2007. On each farm, information about the facilities, the horse and the handler was recorded. In each group, the horse owner or keeper (handler) was asked to enter the group, approach his/her horse, halter it and lead it out through the gate, then keep the horse standing out of sight from other horses for two minutes. The entire procedure was video recorded and the behaviour of the target horse, handler and other horses was subsequently scored. Only one of the 100 horses moved away from the handler when approached. Ninety-six percent of the target horses followed their handler without showing any resistance. In 75% of the tests, the other horses did not interact with the target horse and/or handler. At the gate, 26% of the handlers did not turn the target horse around before closing the gate, thereby placing themselves in a vulnerable position, with their body in very close proximity to the horse's hind legs. In conclusion, separating a horse from its group can be considered relatively safe and unproblematic, provided good management practices and trained handlers.

Abstract:
The horses were trotted in a straight line, and the acceleration data were recorded from the movement of the horse’s head. Inertial sensors were used to collect the information. The sample entropy was used to characterize the dynamics of horse gait. The gait of sound and lame horses was compared, and the sound horses had smaller values of the sample entropy. The effects of sedative detomidine on the gait of lame horses were also examined. The values of sample entropy for sedated horses were smaller than the values of the sample entropy for untreated horses. The sample entropy can provide important information about the dynamics of the equine gait.

Abstract:
The article analyzes the evaluation of the horse’s behavior according to the methodology developed by the authors and designed for the selection of “hobby class” horses for use in amateur equestrian sports and horse riding. The methodology is a point-based system for evaluating behavior according to certain criteria, with each of them being assigned 0 to 4 points in the interaction between a horse and a person. The average score determines the degree of suitability of a horse as a “hobby class” animal. Mares were found to be the most suitable for use as amateur sport horses, while there were no breed or age differences in the behavior of the horses. Behavioral and economic indicators of horse use were also compared. It was found that animals with high behavior scores, 3.0 points and above, were more likely to be used by inexperienced riders. The income from this group of horses was higher compared to those with low behavior scores.

Abstract:
Obesity in horses and ponies, is according to many equine related charities (Blue Cross, BHS) becoming an increasing welfare problem. Recent studies have linked equine obesity and insulin resistance with development of debilitating laminitis (Vick et al., 2007). Poor nutritional management and sedentary lifestyles are to blame for the growing proportion of obese horses (Buff et al., 2005). The horse carer is responsible for the health and welfare of the horse and as such should monitor the weight, condition and exercise regime to ensure appropriate fitness levels to maintain health and performance. Indeed, Johnson (2002) reports that certain management practices tend to promote the development of obesity in mature horses as they enter their teenage years. Horse owners must therefore consider management practices throughout the horse’s life, as the provision of starch-rich and fat-supplemented rations to healthy horses that are relatively inactive may promote the development of obesity increasing the risk of laminitis (Johnson, 2002). The aims of this research were to ascertain the condition score and fitness levels of horses and ponies when diagnosed with laminitis, as reported by the horse carer and to gain insight into how these factors may influence the health and welfare of the domestic horse.

Abstract:
This work aims to describe the Mangalarga Marchador horse’s breeding systems in the Rio de Janeiro. The geographic distribution of the farms in the mesoregions of Rio de Janeiro State were defined, and the commercial and social importance the Mangalarga Marchador horse’s business is described in this study. Mangalarga Marchador horse breeders were interviewed through a survey. Sampling of the farms was stratified by the mesoregions. The state of Rio de Janeiro has 1,573 members Horse Breeder Association, with 92,162 registered horses, corresponding to 15.43% of the total of Mangalarga Marchador horses in Brazil. Approximately 95.2% of farms have their own area and more than half ranging between 100 to 500ha. Horse breeding is the main activity on 79.2% of the farms, and the main goal is the sale of horses (39%), followed by sports (32.7%) and leisure (18.6%). The properties have, on average, five registered employees. Most of the owners (90%) are male. The average number of horses at these farms is 100 heads, with an average number of 53 mares, maintained mainly on an extensive production system. About 39.9% of pastures are formed by the Brachiaria spp. grass, and Napier grass, also known as Elephant grass, the most used forage supplement. The average monthly consumption of forage and commercial concentrate feed is 12,866kg and 2,800kg respectively per farm. About 90% of breeders declared that the unskilled labor force is the biggest obstacle to the increase of the horse breeding in the Rio de Janeiro.

Abstract:
Background: The physiological status of a horse is an indicator of its health. Parameters that can be used to determine the health status of a horse include respiratory rate, heart rate, and body temperature. As the activity of a horse increases, its respiratory rate increases. By measuring respiratory rate, heart rate, and body temperature before and after training, changes in the physiological status of a horse can be determined. Purpose: This study aims to provide an overview of the physiological status of horses before and after training at Anantya Riding Club. Case: Physiological status of horses before and after training. Case Management: This study used a qualitative approach. Data on the physiological conditions of horses were collected before and after training. A digital thermometer was used to measure body temperature. A stethoscope was used to measure heart rate. Respiratory rate was measured by placing the back of the hand or the palm of the hand close to the horse's nose to feel its breath. These measurements were taken before and after training. Conclusion: This study concluded that the physiological status of horses after training showed an improvement. The average body temperatures of the horses before and after training were [37.6 ± 0.09]°C and [38.61 ± 0.03] °C, respectively. The average heart rates of the horses before and after training were 41.0 ± 2.4 beats/minute and 90.2 ± 3.5 beats/minute, respectively. Finally, the average respiratory rates of the horses before and after training exercise were 39.7 ± 3.0 breaths/minute and 101.2 ± 0.5 breaths/minute, respectively.

Abstract:
AbstractThe aim of this study was to examine the influence of an experienced rider and a novice rider on the stride kinematics of experienced riding horses. SVHS video recordings (50 Hz) were made of ten experienced riding horses jumping a 1.05 m-high vertical fence. The horses were randomly assigned to jump the fence under two experimental conditions: ridden by an experienced rider and ridden by a novice rider. Three trials for each ridden condition were analysed, and the effects of the rider type on four kinematic variables were examined using a repeated measures ANOVA. No significant differences were found between the riders for velocity and stride length during the approach, or for the take-off and landing distances from the fence. The results suggest that the rider's body position and body movement had no effect on the horse's jumping kinematics as measured in this study, and that each horse jumped the fence in its own manner, regardless of what the rider was doing. This is contrary to the current belief that a horse's jumping technique is strongly influenced by the rider. These findings have relevance for both horses and riders, in that if an experienced horse does not respond to a rider's instructions as expected, then the implications for training of the horse and the rider are considerable.

Abstract:
This study aimed to perform a comparative analysis of the horses’ heart rate parameters and locomotor activity in a herd or isolation, with or without the company of goats. Twenty horses were tested in a paddock, accompanied (or not) by three goats. The experiment comprised four tests (a control test of a herd of horses without goats, a horse isolation test without goats, a test of a herd of horses with goats and a test of an isolated horse with goats). The horse’s locomotor behavior, and the HR, RR, rMSSD, LF, HF, and LF/HF were recorded. The data analysis included a 15-min rest, procedural and recovery HR/HRV periods, and a 5-min period at the beginning of the test. The duration of the horses standing in the company of goats increased significantly. The rMSSD parameter was the significantly lowest in the test of a herd of horses with goats. The company of goats in a paddock does not eliminate the emotional effects of the phenomenon. However, the locomotor behavior decreases. Goats in a paddock can provide a positive distraction for horses in a herd as a decrease in emotional excitability can be regarded as having a relaxing impact on a different animal species.

Abstract:
Regulation EC 1/2005 has stricter rules for transportation of unbroken (untamed) vs. broken (tamed) horses, but does not provide adequate tools for their identification. This study aimed to develop and validate such a tool. A behavioural test (Broken/Unbroken Test (BUT)) based on approaching, haltering, and leading was applied to 100 horses. Physiological and additional behavioural data were also collected, and the horses’ status (broken/unbroken) was assessed by the expert who administered the BUT. Each horse’s behaviour during the BUT was scored by four trained observers blinded to the horse’s history. The BUT score showed excellent inter-observer, intra-observer, and test–retest reliability (all intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) > 0.75). It was also negatively associated with respiratory rate, avoidance distance, and time needed to approach, halter, and lead the horse (p < 0.05 for all). The optimal BUT score cut-off for discrimination between broken and unbroken horses (gold standard: expert judgment) showed 97.8% sensitivity and 97.3% specificity. There was almost perfect agreement between BUT-based and expert classification of horses (ICC = 0.940). These findings confirm the BUT’s construct and criterion validity. The BUT could provide officials with a feasible, reliable, and valid tool to identify a horse’s broken/unbroken status and, consequently, direct stakeholders towards correct transport procedures.

Abstract:
This dissertation examines the cultural and historical dimensions of why certain communities in the United States are compelled to rescue animals from abuse, neglect, or death. In particular, it engages with the debate over sending “unwanted” horses to slaughter, touching upon not just the history of cultural taboo over the consumption of horsemeat and concerns about the cruelty and food safety of industrialized animal slaughter, but also what happens to such horses when they are rescued from slaughter. As such, this dissertation fundamentally asks: what makes a horse save-able and re-wanted again? What kind of lives do they go on to live and why? And how are the decisions to “rescue” certain horses and provide them with “second chances” distinctly cultural and worthy of anthropological analysis? Based on the emerging field of multispecies ethnography, this dissertation thus examines how and why a certain population of the so-called unwanted horses, Thoroughbred ex-racehorses, are rescued from slaughter and how this practice is made culturally meaningful by the “horse people” in the self-proclaimed “horse capital of world,” the Lexington / Bluegrass region of Kentucky, U.S.A. My analysis stems from ten months of fieldwork in the Bluegrass where I conducted ethnographic research at two specific rescue operations for Thoroughbred ex-racehorses: one an equine re-training and adoption facility based at the Kentucky Horse Park called the Maker’s Mark Secretariat Center, and the other a vocational horse care program for male inmates at Blackburn Correctional Complex called the Second Chances / Groom Elite program. Based on my research at these two sites as they are situated within a larger, regional culture intently focused on the production and glorification of horses, this dissertation concludes that the practice of animal rescue involves constant re-evaluation of the moral and economic worth of human and nonhuman animal lives that were previously marginalized to the point of social and/or mortal death, a concept I have termed “redemptive capital.” Redemptive capital helps measure “who” gets saved and why - and furthermore, how once a life is spared death, what implicit debt is owed one’s redeemers.

Abstract:
African horse sickness (AHS) is a life threatening disease of equids caused by African horse sickness virus (AHSV), a member of the genus Orbivirus in the family Reoviridae. The virus is transmitted to horses by midges (Culicoides spp.) and the disease is most prevalent during the time of year, and in areas where the Culicoides spp. are most abundant, namely in late summer in the summer rainfall areas of the country. Whilst the clinical signs and presentation of the disease were well documented by Sir Arnold Theiler (1921), very little is known or documented about AHSV dynamics or the clinical pathological and serological responses of horses to natural infection with AHSV. This dissertation describes the history and current knowledge on AHS, and the methods and results of a prospective study on natural AHSV infection of horses, undertaken between 2009 and 2010 by the Equine Research Centre (ERC) at the University of Pretoria, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Onderstepoort. This study is the first documented study of its nature and included animals of various ages and therefore variable vaccination status. The objectives of the study were to describe the viral dynamics of AHSV infection in horses, to gain a better understanding of the clinical pathological and serological responses to natural AHS infection and to demonstrate early detection of AHS infection in horses under field conditions.

Abstract:
Although equine charities’ presence in developing countries is assumed to improve working equine health, little scientifically substantiated information is available on the impact of such projects in targeted communities or about communities’ horse health priorities. This work aims to (i) evaluate and quantify the impact of World Horse Welfare training in farriery, saddlery and nutrition-related interventions on health of Lesotho’s working horses (ii) elicit community priority horse health topics using participatory methods for comparison with topics identified using epidemiological techniques. A baseline cross-sectional survey was conducted before World Horse Welfare’s first training course, with two follow-up surveys 9 and 20 months after first year course completion. Each followed a standardised clinical examination protocol for horses and administered a structured questionnaire on equine husbandry/primary health care knowledge and practices with study horses’ owners. Standardised data on tack used on horses was also collected. Data was analysed quantitatively to assess changes in equine health and tack parameters and owners’ knowledge and practices over the intervening period. Following impact evaluation, owner discussion groups were convened, employing participatory facilitation techniques to elicit owner-specified key horse health-associated issues and their priority order. Limited changes in farriery-related parameters were identified, but few saddlery-related improvements resulted; problems including high prevalence of poor tack and tack-associated injuries persisted. High prevalence of suboptimal body condition score, sharp enamel teeth points, parasite infestation, overgrown hooves and adverse clinical pathology parameters persisted throughout the study. Owners’ basic husbandry knowledge and application remained variable. Community-specified horse health priorities were mouthcare, nutrition, disease management, feet and husbandry. Engaging horse owners to understand country-specific issues and elicit community priorities is essential before designing interventions to improve equine health. A complex change process involving owner knowledge, attitudes and behaviour, underpinned by community support and bespoke step-wise interventions is required to achieve sustainable equine health improvements.

Abstract:
In order to investigate the effect of food restriction on fat mobilization in horses with impaction in left ventral colon during treatment, serum triglycerides, NEFA and total bilirubine (TB) were measured before and after treatment. On another side, the determination of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity in serum could facilitate the distinguishing of the non-strangulating intestinal obstruction from the potential fatal strangulation obstruction and could submit a new prognostic biochemical parameter for intestinal strangulation. With the intention of giving a highlight over the analgesic effect of Buscopan® compositum in horses with colic, it was attempted to investigate the effect of Buscopan® compositum on the intestinal motility of healthy conscious horses in different regions of intestine. A significant elevation of NEFA and TB was observed in horses with impaction in left ventral colon at admission. By relieving the impaction, there was a significant elevation of triglycerides in comparison to its level at admission. There was a significant increase in ADH activity in all horses with acute intestinal obstruction. ADH activity was significantly higher in horses with strangulation in comparison to non-strangulation obstruction. There was only a significant correlation between ADH and lactate in horses with non-strangulation obstruction and colon torsion. Only AST and GLDH were significantly increased in horses with colon torsion. ADH activity > 20 U/l had 80.56% specificity and 80.49% sensitivity for discriminating horses with intestinal strangulation from non-strangulation obstruction. ADH activity < 80 U/l had 94.44% specificity and 66.67% sensitivity for survival. Buscopan® compositum had an immediate, rapid and significant (p< 0.05) reduction of duodenal, cecal and left ventral colon contractions after application. Cecal and left ventral colon contractions restored rapidly their normal contractions after 30 min, while duodenal contractions returned to the normal rate after 120 min of Buscopan® compositum administration. The horses with impaction in left ventral colon are susceptible to fat mobilization during the period of treatment as a result of food restriction. It was characterized by a revisable hypertri-glyceridemia and hyperbililrubinemia. Serum ADH activity could have a useful clinical value in detecting the intestinal strangulation and predicting the prognosis in horses with intestinal strangulation. Buscopan® compositum at its therapeutic dosage has an immediate, potent, short-lived reductive effect on cecum and left ventral colon contractions but a minor, longer effect on the duodenal contractions. Therefore, it is thought to be more effective in treatment of spasmodic colic than in large colon impaction
Um den Effekt der Nahrungskarenz auf die Fettmobilisation bei Pferden mit Verstopfung der linken ventralen Längslagen des Kolons während der Behandlung zu untersuchen, wurden Triglyceride (TG), freie Fettsäuren (FFS) und Gesamtbilirubin (GB) bestimmt. Andererseits ermöglicht die Bestimmung der Aktivität der Alkoholdehydrogenase (ADH) im Serum die Unterscheidung zwischen einer nichtstrangulierenden intestinalen Obstruktion und einer potentiell tödlichen Strangulation. ADH kann somit als ein neuer prognostischer biochemischer Parameter für die intestinale Strangulation eingesetzt werden. Um den spasmolytischen Effekt von Buscopan compositum bei Pferden mit Kolik zu untersuchen, wurde der Effekt von Buscopan compositum auf die intestinale Kontraktion von gesunden Pferden in verschiedenen Regionen des Darmes getestet. Eine signifikante Erhöhung der FFS und des GB wurde bei Aufnahme von Pferden mit einer Verstopfung in der linken ventralen Längslagen festgestellt. Nach der Behandlung der Verstopfung konnte eine signifikante Erhöhung der Konzentration von TG, bezogen auf die TG Konzentration bei Aufnahme in die Klinik, festgestellt werden. Bei Pferden mit akuter intestinaler Obstruktion wurde eine signifikante Erhöhung der Aktivität der ADH beobachtet. Die Aktivität der ADH war bei Pferden mit einer Strangulation signifikant höher als bei Pferden, die eine nichtstrangulierende Obstruktion des Darmes hatten. Bei Pferden mit einer nichtstrangulierenden Obstruktion oder einer Kolontorsion wurde eine positive Korrelation zwischen der ADH-Aktivität und der Laktatkonzentration im Serum festgestellt. Nur bei Pferden mit Kolontorsion waren die Aktivitäten von AST und GLDH signifikant erhöht. Für die Unterscheidung zwischen Pferden mit einer intestinalen Strangulation oder einer nichtstrangulierenden Obstruktion wurde für die ADH- Aktivität größer als 20 U/l eine Spezifität von 80,56% und eine Sensitivität von 80,49% ermittelt. Eine ADH-Aktivität kleiner 80 U/l zeigt, mit einer Spezifität von 94,44% und einer Sensitivität von 66,67%, eine günstige Prognose für das Überleben des Pferdes an. Nach Gabe von Buscopan® compositum trat eine sofortige schnelle und signifikante (p<0,05) Reduktion der Kontraktionen im Duodenum, Zäkum und den linken ventralen Längslagen ein. Die Kontraktionen des Zäkums und der linken ventralen Längslagen normalisierten sich schnell innerhalb von 30 min, wogegen die Kontraktionen des Duodenums erst 120 min nach der Applikation von Buscopan® compositum den Normalzustand erreichten. Pferde mit einer Verstopfung in der linken ventralen Längslagen des Kolons sind während der medizinischen Behandlung anfällig für Fettmobilisation aufgrund der reduzierten Futter-aufnahme. Dies ist gekennzeichnet durch eine reversible Hypertriglyceridämie und eine Hyperbilirubinämie. Die Aktivität von ADH im Serum kann ein nützlicher klinischer Parameter sein, um eine intestinale Strangulation zu identifizieren und bietet sich auch als prognostischer Marker bei intestinaler Strangulation an. Die Applikation von Buscopan® compositum in der therapeutischen Dosierung hat eine sofortige, potente und kurzzeitige Reduktion der Kontraktionen des Zäkums und der linken ventralen Längslage aber einen geringen und länger anhaltenden Effekt auf die duodenalen Kontraktionen zur Folge. Daraus folgt, dass Buscopan® compositum bei der Behandlung von Krampfkoliken effektiver ist als bei Verstopfungen des großen Kolons

Abstract:
The major aims of this investigation were to: examine the physiological adaptations to intense training over a prolonged period; relate central, peripheral and whole body adaptations to exercise and training; examine the time course of adaptations to training and detraining; and identify physiological markers or maladaptation associated with signs of overtraining. Thirteen Standardbred horses were trained in a controlled, longitudinal study of 4 phases. Prior to the commencement of training all horses had been rested or detrained for a period of 16 weeks. Phase 1 involved 7 weeks endurance training, Phase 2 involved 9 weeks of high intensity training, Phase 3 involved 18 weeks of overload training, and Phase 4 involved 12 weeks of detraining. In Phase 3 the horses were divided into 2 groups: overload training (OLT) and control (C). The OLT group exercised at greater intensities, frequencies and durations than the C group.

Abstract:
Abstract Veterinary examination of Icelandic competition horses, according to a specially designed protocol 'fit for competition', is performed prior to every entrance to the track during Landsmót, the National Championships of the Icelandic horse. This has provided valuable data for welfare assessment that have been used for improvement of general rules for the benefit of competition horses. It further prevents suffering on an individual level as horses expressing pain during the examination are found not to be fit for competition and are not allowed to start or continue competition during the event. The frequency of bit-related lesions can be regarded as a welfare indicator for Icelandic competition horses, reflecting the pressure placed on the mouth of the horse.

Abstract:
Horses came to Iceland with the first settlers in the ninth century. Exploring Iceland was a joint venture between horse and human. Isolated from the horse populations of Europe, the Icelandic horse is recognized as a distinct breed, small in stature but powerfully built and possessing a fifth gait. Horses are useful in agriculture and as a primary means of transport, but equally they have been and still are companions and guides to humans, trusted to convey a half asleep, drunk farmer safely home from a barn dance. In the first few springs of a foal’s life, foal and their dams are released from their home paddocks into the mountains, where grasses and herbs grow and horses roam and forage freely. Horses thus learn their land and mountains, and they know where the path is treacherous and where it opens to a lush valley. It is said that if you are on horseback and lost, drop the reins, and let the horse lead because she will know the way. Horses also learn that the mist may hide dangerous creatures and that caution should be taken in the vicinity of elf dwellings and in the places where trolls may camp. Because of this, a horse is a fitting author of this field guide to Icelandic monsters.

Abstract Animals, including horses, are commonly involved in sports and events. Issues of animal/horse welfare at such events are increasingly discussed and disputed. This short Chapter 9A addresses some relevant issues regarding animal involvement in events, particularly welfare issues. The importance of research on the subject is raised. The chapter is followed in Chapter 9B by discussion of some of the specific welfare issues related to Icelandic competition horses, based on research at Landsmót (the National Championship of the Icelandic horse).

Abstract:
Abstract The Icelandic horse is one of the purest horse breeds in the world, reaching an average 140 cm (13.3 hh) height at the withers and weighing 340 kg. The conformation is rectangular and compact, with a sloping croup, and a long, thick mane and tail. The breed is most known and appreciated for the lateral gaits tölt and pace, which it has in addition to the basic gaits (walk, trot and canter/gallop). The breed is found in more than 30 countries, with more Icelandic horses abroad (ca. 175,000) than in Iceland (ca. 65,000). There is one international studbook, WorldFengur, with breeding associations in 21 countries and a common breed evaluation system. Following mechanization in Iceland around 1950, the role of the Icelandic horse changed from being 'the most useful servant' to that of a leisure and sport horse. Also in 1950, Landsmót - the largest outdoor sporting event for the Icelandic horse in Iceland - was held for the first time. It was then repeated every four years until 1998 and biennially after that. Landsmót has been held 23 times in total, at seven different locations in the south and north of Iceland, lasting for 3-8 days in the high summer period. The event has expanded over time with an increasing number of horses, riders and competition disciplines. This chapter introduces the disciplines, qualification of horses and riders and facilities required for Landsmót.

Abstract:
One of the obstacles to horse breeding development is parasitic diseases. According to literary sources, one of the most common equine helminth infections in Russia is parascaridosis. Allergic and toxic manifestations, and decreased performance, endurance and natural resistance are observed in horses suffering from helminthic diseases. In the Chechen Republic, horse breeding is mainly commercial. The research purpose was to study the spread of nematodes Parascaris equorum in various natural and climatic zones of the Republic. The studies were conducted in 2022– 2023 covering flat terrain and mountainous zone. The studies of horse feces revealed nematodes of the suborder Ascaridata (Parascaris equorum) with the infection rate of 7.0 to 41.7%. The study objects were 368 horses of different age groups spontaneously infected with nematodes, of which 211 animals in the flat land, and 157 animals in the mountainous zone. Fecal samples were examined by the coprological method. Nematodes Ascaridata are poorly studied intestinal nematode species of horses in the Chechen Republic. We have found that the greatest infection rate in horses is in the flat land and the mountainous zone in autumn, and the least is in spring. The helminth infection intensity was 4–41% in horses in the flat land, which was significantly higher than horses in the mountainous zone (1–23%). The difference in the infection rate in horses in the mountainous zone and flat land is determined by landscape (including topographies) and climatic characteristics.

Abstract:
Вследствие развития коневодства в Среднем Прииртышье в период с ~3,5 тыс. лет до н.э. по XIX в. н.э. произошло вытеснение за пределы территории и уничтожение диких лошадей (степного тарпана, лошади Пржевальского, казахстанского кулана). Дикие лошади составляли конкуренцию домашним лошадям за естественные пастбища и мешали ведению отгонного коневодства. Due to the development of horse breeding in the middle Irtysh in the period from about 3.5 thousand years BC to the XIX century it was a displacement outside the territory and the destruction of wild horses (steppe Tarpan, Przewalski’s horses, Kulan Kazakhstan). Wild horses competed with domestic horses in natural pastures and prevented the maintenance of pasture breeding.

Abstract:
With roots as far as the Bronze age, equines have played an invaluable role in history, both with regards to agriculture and forestry, warfare, transportation and leisure, and therefore hold important cultural significance in the Nordics. The link between horses and the welfare benefits of their caregivers makes the species an important part of society as well. Since the agricultural and industrial revolution, the equine sector has been influenced by a range of challenges due to the dramatic change in the role of horses in society, especially for the Nordic native breeds. However, as society adapts and finds new ways to use and protect them, there is a hope for the future. Although there has been cooperation between the Nordic countries in the horse sector, a collective report of the status of all the Nordic countries has been missing. This report marks a start for this type of effort by considering both commercial and native breeds. Further, it comprises the horse sector in the Nordics, with a special focus on the native horse breeds and the possibilities they carry for environmental sustainability, their socio-economic importance, their genetics as well as their risk status. The report further evaluates the Domestic Animal Diversity Information System (DAD-IS) maintained and developed by FAO as a tool for gathering information about the development and current status of the native breeds. The goal of this report is to identify knowledge gaps and areas of improvement for the Nordic equine sector and the collected data of the native horse breeds. One of the biggest challenges has been to find validated information sources for the population numbers of the breeds in each country – there are varying estimates for both commercial and native breeds. The numbers have significant impact for the determination of managing strategies of the populations. Reports for each of the countries (Denmark, Finland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) are presented, and depict the current role of horses, breeding, population development and economic values of the equine sector are listed in each of the country-reports. The information in the country reports were derived from a questionnaire and by using DAD-IS.
