Causes of stress in horses
Stress can be caused by many common situations including:
• prolonged confinement e.g. box rest
• a new environment
• new people or new horses
• weaning
• ‘breaking’ or training
• travelling
• clipping
• vet, farrier or dentist visits

Horses, like humans, experience apprehension and stress in certain situations. Some degree of stress is normal, however if stress becomes excessive it can lead to behavioural problems. Together with behavioural training, Zylkène Equine can help horses cope with challenging situations and facilitate
adaptation to change.
