Hi everybody - thanks so much for all the input -

In respsonse to some people's questions - I'm doing human psychology at uni next year, in hope to specialise in Educational psychology, but I am also completing this psychology project as part of my Monty Roberts Preliminary Certificate of horsemanship courses.

Yes a lot of these questions are subjective, that is why a large sample is needed (I am neraing 300 now) to get a good baseline and reduce the anomylies (spelling?). Also it could be true that all the questions rely on individual cicumsrtances and not turnout, but that is what I'm trtying to prove/disprove after all.

Will make sure to post my conclusions on the forum - but this will be in about January I'm afraid - there's still so much to do

Thanks once again though!

Ross

I have two horses (on different management) so will answer the survey twice, for Luca (L) and Roscoe (R)- hope that's ok!

1. LA REii- currently in most of the time, turned out for approx 3 hours in afternoon daily.

2. L4 R5

3.L5 R5

4. L3- scared of dentist! R4

5. L4 R5

6. L5 R4

7. L5 R5

8. L5 R5

9. L4 R5

10. L4 R5

11. L5 R5

12. L3 R3

13. L5 R5

14. L3 R4

15. L5 R3

16. L3 R3

17. L5 R5

18. L5 R5

19. L4 R3

20. L4 R4

21. L4 R5

22. L4 R5

23. L4 R2- he hates getting wet!

24. L4 R4

Hope this helps! Note- Roscoe (R) used tp go out all day in winter and 24/7 in summer but recently moved to new yard so behaviour not really reflective of stabling yet (and hopefully won't be!) Your study sounds very interesting, let us know how you get on with it.
