HÄSTARS NATURLIGA BETEENDEBEHOV – REFERENSER

För oss är det viktigt att certifieringen för Etisk hästhållning utgår ifrån relevant forskning om hästar. Det ska också finnas transparens kring vilken forskning som används som underlag till certifieringen. Här nedan följer därför en tematisk referenslista med alla de forskningsartiklar som ligger till grund för vårt arbete.


Känner du till forskning som saknas från denna lista? Tipsa oss gärna om lämpliga forskningsartiklar genom att mejla till oss på etiskhasthallning@gmail.com. Tack!
