🌿🐴 How Do Equines Spend Their Time?

🍽 Feed intake – 60%
🦥 Standing – 25.9%
🚶‍♂️ Movement – 6.2%
🛏 Lying – 6.5%

These figures come from a study conducted in 2018 at the EAS centre, Vladykův dvůr, and presented at the HETI Congress in Dublin that same year. The results show that equines spend most of their time eating, digesting, and standing. Movement occurs mainly when they need to find new pasture, access water, or avoid danger.

Recognising these natural behaviour patterns is vital for safeguarding equine welfare in Equine Assisted Services and planning work schedules that respect their needs.

🌿🐴 How Do Equines Spend Their Time?

Shared by our student Sara Ciganda Marcos from the Core Principles of Equine Assisted Services course, this post explores how equines typically divide their day:

🍽 Feed intake – 60%
🦥 Standing – 25.9%
🚶‍♂️ Movement – 6.2%
🛏 Lying – 6.5%

These figures come from a study conducted in 2018 at the EAS centre, Vladykův dvůr, and presented at the HETI Congress in Dublin that same year. The results show that equines spend most of their time eating, digesting, and standing. Movement occurs mainly when they need to find new pasture, access water, or avoid danger.

Why Therapy Horses Shouldn’t Be Called Therapists.

About caring and responsibility 🐴

We often call them healers. We speak as if they “know” what our clients need. But when we call therapy equines therapists, we risk giving them a silent burden they never chose. This article explores the hidden dangers of placing emotional responsibility on equines in Equine Assisted Services —...

🚩 “Equine Therapy”? Time to look closer.
Equine Therapy IS NOT the same as Equine Assisted Therapy (EAT).

When a course uses outdated or vague labels like “Equine Therapy” or “Horse Healing Certification,” it’s often a RED FLAG. It may mean:
• The creators are not involved in real Equine Assisted Therapy
• They are unaware of professional standards
• Or worse – the content is generated by AI and rebranded

This is often your first clue that the course may look impressive, but lacks depth, ethics, and professional guidance.

✅ Always choose education based on qualified lecturers, high-quality standards and clear terminology.
