Abstract

The cat is an animal whose aggressive attitude may be linked to four main factors: the risk of a very low level of socialisation in the event of very rapid development, the importance of the territorial equilibrium obtained by sophisticated marking out, the absence of any hierarchical structure pr eventing postural synchronisation (only allomarking facilitates encounters) and lastly there is the double status of prey and predator which fosters an instantaneous emotional swithchover: The therapy consequently consists of rebuilding a reassuring territory (verification of fields and pheromone marking). Behaviour therapies should comply with feline ethology, and psychotropic drugs can also be of valuable assistance to encourage resocialisation or reduce danger

Abstract

The risk of physical accident or injury to humans from horses is well understood. Now, there is increasing awareness of negative impacts on the physical and mental wellbeing of horses from living in fundamentally human environments and being subject to human management regimes. The 17 articles in this collection describe horse-related risks to humans and human-related risks to horses across a range of equestrian disciplines, sectors and activities. Not only do the authors take detailed approaches towards describing and calculating risk, they suggest solutions-focussed interventions for reducing the consequence and likelihood of harm to horses and humans in their relations with one another. Together, these important articles provide strategies for maximising the mutual benefits of humans and horses in each other’s lives. By considering human, animal and environmental aspects of horse-related risk, this collection provides a foundation for the development of an ‘Equestrian One Health’ framework to underpin future research into horse-related risks.
