Mobile Field Horse Shelters Portable Horse Stable with sliding door
Stable vices are stereotypies of equines, especially horses. They
are usually undesirable habits that often develop as a result of
being confined in a stable with insufficient exercise, boredom,
hunger, excess energy or isolation. They present a management
issue, not only leading to facility damage from chewing, kicking,
and repetitive motion, but also lead to health consequences for the
animal if not addressed. They also raise animal welfare concerns.
Stereotypical behaviors in animals are generally thought to be
caused by artificial environments that do not allow animals to
satisfy their normal behavioral needs. Rather than refer to these
behaviors as abnormal, it has been suggested that they be described
as "behavior indicative of an abnormal environment."
It was once thought that stable vices may be learned by observing
other horses already performing the behaviors, but studies on the
topic to date have failed to establish this as a cause.
Stereotypies are correlated with altered behavioral response
selection in the basal ganglia. Although a more enriched
environment may help minimize or eliminate some stereotypical
behavior, once established, it is sometimes impossible to eliminate
them due to alterations in the brain.
In most cases, reducing confinement and providing the animal a more
natural setting reduces the incidence of stable vices. There are
stopgap "cures" that can be provided in the stall to keep a horse
busy or out of trouble, including increased exercise, feeding of
larger quantities of lower-quality food (so the animal spends more
time eating and less time being bored), feeding more frequently, or
cutting back on grain or other high-energy concentrates. Toys such
as a ball or empty one-gallon plastic milk jug can be hung in the
stall. Sometimes simply giving the animal a companion in the next
stall, or even a smaller animal placed in the same stall, also
helps a bored or nervous horse.
In extreme cases, a short term fix may include various forms of
restraint. However, none of these practices solve the underlying
problem, some may raise animal welfare concerns, and the animal
will resume its behavior as soon as the restraint is removed. The
long-term solution that has the most success is to give the horse
less time in the stall and more free turnout time.
