Résumé : | After 45 million years of evolution the horse has developed into a highly specialised animal with respect to its anatomy, physiology and behaviour. No other animal has influenced the economic and cultural history of man. The horse was domesticated in 4000 BC and used for hunting prey since the ice-age. It has been used over thousands of years as an unique animal world-wide. In recent times the horse has become a partner in sport, a companion animal and a therapist. The well known behavioural demands for the optimum use and husbandry are still frequently not fulfilled |
