'Work Package 3: Riding Instructor-Horse' is the final part of the project 'Improving Teaching Methods in Riding Education: the Interplay between Rider, Riding Instructor and Horse'. In this project, the Swedish-Norwegian Foundation for Equine Research has previously funded the first two work …

The overall purpose for this project is to deepen the understanding for how economic effects of the horse industry can be understood and visualised at micro level using consumption and production data in both Sweden and Norway. Background to the project is to find in the industry’s need for …

This project is connected to an already funded grazing application from Norway intending to evaluate methane production from dairy cows in different grazing systems. We aim to evaluate further some important aspects of grazing in northern Sweden. We plan to use some sensory techniques to analyse …
