An alarmingly high number of accidents involve humans and horses and the welfare of many horses is compromised as shown by signs of discomfort specifically during ridden work. Research indicates that this is due to miscommunication between riders/handlers and horses and mismanagement caused by insufficient basic knowledge about horses’ natural behaviour and how they learn. Our aim is, together with the riders of riding schools and their riding teachers, to identify knowledge gaps regarding horse behaviour, welfare, and rider-horse communication. Based on such co-developed information, we will analyze together how scientific research can complement the riding schools' practical knowledge and what pedagogical tools are best suited to teach evidence-based knowledge in the riding school environment. In the long run, the project is expected to contribute to an increased theoretical and practical knowledge of riders and horse owners and thereby to improved welfare of both dyad members.
Hästsporten är drabbad av allvarliga olyckor. Dessutom äventyras många hästars välbefinnande vilket visar sig genom tecken på stress och obehag, framför allt under ridning. Forskning visar att båda fenomenen många gånger beror på brist på kommunikation mellan ryttare och häst orsakad av otillräcklig kunskap och förståelse för hästens beteende och inlärning. Vårt mål är, att tillsammans med ryttare på ridskolor och deras ridlärare, identifiera kunskapsluckor avseende hästens beteende, hästvälfärd och ryttar-häst kommunikation. Baserat på den insamlade informationen kommer vi tillsammans att analysera hur aktuell forskning kan komplettera ridskolornas praktiska kunskap och vilka pedagogiska verktyg som är bäst lämpade för att lära ut evidensbaserad kunskap i ridskolans miljö. På sikt förväntas projektet bidra till ökad teoretisk och praktisk kunskap hos ryttare och hästägare och därigenom till förbättrad välfärd för både människor och hästar.

All horses grazing freely are at risk of parasitic diseases. Due to a growing problem with drug resistance in parasites, there is a need to improve the diagnostic methods. One important problem with today's situation is that one diagnostic procedure costs significantly more than one treatment, both …
