Hi there, and HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone.

Well after lots of analysing and 333 samples later I have started to sort out some results from all the horsey data. However – I’m still not finished so don’t wish to yet say what these results are as it could all change when some more samples come in (feel free if you haven’t completed my turnout questionnaire, or want to find out more to visit this link for an explanation and copy of the questionnaire: http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/sh...&PHPSESSID= )


But I was wondering if everybody that has completed a questionnaire, or indeed anybody that owns a horse and has a few seconds to spare could complete the following questions. I’m investigating whether the type of turnout a horse receives affects his/her psychological behaviour and the following questions serve as a follow-up to my original questionnaire, to hopefully help explain some of my current findings:
Hope that makes sense, sorry if I’ve waffled (I’m still doing it now ), here are the follow-up questions:

1.Which Turnout System applies to your horse?
A)Turnout 24/7
B)Stabled During the Day
C)Stabled During the Night
D)Stabled 24/7
Ei) Seasonal Turnout (Turnout relating to winter/summer)
Eii) Other (please describe)

2.Choose from the following list, 3 words which you feel most describe your horse, and rank in order of importance from 1 – 3:

PLACID
LIVELY
CONTENT
AGGRESSIVE
ASSERTIVE
STUBOURN
NERVOUS
SHARP
COMPLIANT
CONFIDENT
WITHDRAWN
BOLD
PLAYFUL

Example Answer:

1.A

2.)
1. Confident
2. Assertive
3. Lively

Hope all that makes sense, if not let me know, but Happy New Year and thankyou all for your time and effort – I’m hoping to bring some fantastic results for turnout with me into 2009 – thankyou

PS Feel free to PM me if you don’t want others to see your results, thanks
 
I have 3 horses and here are my answers:-

1) D (all 3 horses)

2) (my stallion)
1. Confident
2. Content
3. Compliant

2) (my gelding)
1. Confident
2. Bold
3. Assertive

2) (my mare)
1. Lively
2. Confident
3. Playful

Surely this doesn't belong in Breeding - New Lounge would be more appropriate.

Sorry, it's just that I had about 14 people answer my questionnaire when it was posted here before so was hoping to catch them / more people again.
