The University of Kentucky Gluck Equine Research Center asks horse, pony, mule or donkey owners how they manage their equids in response to seasonal pasture changes.
Being stabled for part of the day may provide potential ulcer-reducing benefits, such as protection from adverse weather, individual feeding and access to forage without disturbance.
The new center will help lead breakthroughs in care for older horses, a demographic making up approximately one-third of the worldwide horse population.
