Tension, anxiety, stress?

The cause of stress in horses may have to do with what we (want to) do with them: either pressure to perform or tedious work, general boredom, disorder in the environment or stress in the rider, transport by trailer, but the original cause of stress can have emerged from being weaned too young and being ridden at a too early age. In addition, there are many environmental factors that can also play an important role such as: being away from the herd, being isolated, too little movement, inability to lie down or a too small stable. Horses can also develop physiological stress due to not being fed frequently enough, not getting enough fibrous feed or too much concentrated feed. Another consideration is emotions such as grief due to loss or departure of another horse or fear related to visits from the farrier or veterinarian. Physical pain can also be the cause of stress. Some causes can be avoided, others can not.

Symptoms of stress include cramped muscles, twitching, visible whites of the eyes, rapid shallow breathing, flaring nostrils or sweating. It can also manifest in behavior such as aggression, irritability or development of / displaying bad behavior in the stable (wind sucking, weaving, and cribbing). Tooth grinding, frequent yawning, lethargy or licking, can indicate stress in the stomach. Parasitic or fungal infections, thin and watery manure or many small frequent amounts, can be due to stress in the intestines.
