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, Zylkene Equine can help horses cope with challenging situations and facilitate
adaptation to change.
