Abstract ▼ AI-Helper

The present study aims to confirm the influence of a horse-riding lesson program (HRLP) on the stress level of horses and riders by respectively analyzing their salivary cortisol concentration. Twenty-four healthy horses and 23 riders participated in this study. The horses were randomly classified into two groups for the horse riding lesson program: Class 1 (for the beginner lesson) and Class 2 (for the intermediate lesson). The Class 1 group consisted of 12 horses and 12 riders, while the Class 2 group consisted of 12 horses and 11 riders. Salivettes cotton wool swabs were used for saliva collection and the saliva analyses were conducted using a two-way analysis of variance for repeated measures with SAS version 8. As for the results, the average salivary cortisol concentration of all horses before HRLP significantly increased compared to the baseline (p<0.001) while it decreased after the HRLP. The results of the salivary cortisol concentration of the riders were similar to the horses' results. However, there was no difference during the HRLP between Class 1 and Class 2 in the horse or rider groups. The results suggest that the HRLP did not influence the stress level of the horses or riders. Thus, this study provides the necessary information and guidelines for future studies on stress in horses during riding and gives insight into better horse welfare and management options.

문제 정의

Also, the levels of them after the lessons has been found to be reduced compared to before. The study can be used to improve the performance of the health and welfare in horse and rider.
The circadian rhythm can be disturbed by a variety of variables such as the environment and handling of the horse. This study has evaluated the stress levels of the horse and rider during horse riding lesson program. The horse and rider in the beginner and intermediate groups did not have an influence on the salivary cortisol levels with respect to their skills during the lessons.
This study was designed to analyze the salivary cortisol concentration in riders and horses involved in the HRLP of the Jeju National University Lifelong Education Center, and ultimately to confirm their stress levels. Each class (up to 12 riders) in the HRLP program was two hours long.

제안 방법

All riders were adult students participating in the HRLP program to learn horse-riding skills for 15 weeks (once a week, two hours per lesson) in the Jeju National University Lifelong Education Center. Prior to the experiments, the riders in Class 1 had 10 riding times during the HRLP.
, 2013). Therefore, the present study was performed to investigate the effects of the cortisol levels of horses and their riders during the two-hour horse riding lesson program (HRLP) in beginner and intermediate groups.

대상 데이터

50 yr). The horses involved in this study are Jeju crossbred horses ranging from 4 to 8 years old, managed at the Horse-land facilities located in Jeju Island, South Korea. Prior to the experiment, all horses were managed under the same environmental conditions.
This work was supported by the Horse Resources Research Institute, Jeju, Jeju 690-756, South Korea. The authors are pleased to thank the Horse-land members who helped the measurement.
This study was approved by the IACUC (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee) and Chairman of Ethics Committee for Human Research (ECHR) of Jeju National University, South Korea. Twenty-four healthy horses and 23 riders participated in this study. The horses were randomly classified into two groups for the horse riding lesson program: Class 1 (for the beginner lesson) and Class 2 (for the intermediate lesson).

데이터처리

The data was analyzed using the two-way analysis of covariance for repeated measures with SAS version 8 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). All values were expressed as means±standard deviation, with statistical significance set at p<0.

성능/효과

First, the average SCCL of the horses before the HRLP was increased compared to the baseline (p<0.001), and second, it was decreased after the lesson rather than before (Table 1), and finally, the average SCCL of the T3 were returned to below baseline levels.
In conclusion, the horse and rider in the beginner and intermediate groups did not have an influence on the SCCL with respect to their skills during the HRLP. Also, the SCCL of the horse and rider after HRLP (intensity of light exercise such as walking or trotting) has been found to be reduced compared to before HRLP.
(2013) in that the cortisol concentration can increase before exercising. In this study, the SCCL after the HRLP fell by approximately 36 percent compared to that before the HRLP. The salivary cortisol reflects the exercise intensity and duration (Strzelec et al.
This means that the riding skills of beginner and intermediate riders did not affect the stress of the horses. Therefore, the results obtained in this study suggest that the intensity of light exercise such as walking and trotting can reduce the stress level of the horses.

, 2010). It was expected in this study that the horses engaged in the horse-riding lesson would have high levels of stress because they had to exercise with beginner and intermediate riders who ultimately have poor communication skills. However, their stress level rather decreased after the HRLP.
