Presentation Information: Introducing new horses to a group can result in agonistic interactions and an increased risk of injury, which can lead some owners to avoid turning their horses out with other horses. This webinar will explore how early life experiences and other factors can influence our horses’ social skills and ability to cope with new environments and equine companions. It will evaluate traditional approaches to introducing new horses to a group and then explore alternative approaches that have the potential to reduce the risk of injury, minimise stress and set our horses up for success with their new companions.
