  • Title: The development of equestrianism from the baroque period to the present day and its consequences for the welfare of horses.
    Author: Odberg FO, Bouissou MF.
    Journal: Equine Vet J Suppl; 1999 Apr; (28):26-30. PubMed ID: 11314231.
    Abstract:
    Many saddle horses are slaughtered at a young age which could be indicative of a welfare problem. Bad riding is probably an underestimated source of poor welfare. Widespread knowledge of 'academic' riding should be encouraged and should be beneficial to all horses, at all schooling levels, for all purposes. In particular, 18th century principles tend to be forgotten and in this article the authors illustrate some differences to modern dressage. Various suggestions are made in order to improve welfare.
