Jun 10, 2020 · This article reviews what is known about the genetics of behavior in horses with an emphasis on the genetic basis for temperament traits, neuroendocrine function, and stereotypic behavior. The importance of using modern molecular genetic techniques to the study of equine behavior and recommendations for future research are also discussed.

A variety of behavior problems occur in horses. Some of the most common are those associated with aggression (including aggression towards people), fear and phobias, sexual behavioral problems, performance problems (such as bucking), abnormal eating habits, and undesirable stall behaviors.
Jun 1, 2023 · This review discusses important aspects of normal horse behaviour, key factors in the development and treatment of undesirable behaviours in horses, and the potential role of behaviour modifying medication as an adjunct to an overall behaviour modification program.
Nov 26, 2019 · The emotional transfer hypothesis suggests a mutual coordination of emotional states of humans and horses, which are going through a coupling process during the interaction. Even though this mechanism is supported by few existing studies on human-horse emotional fine-tuning, it could play a key role in EAIs.

To investigate if age, strength or gender were important in choosing riders for horses, these variables were stacked to create two variables: ‘characteristic’ (with categories of strength, age and gender) and ‘importance’ (with categories of most, some and least).
