Hi!

I am a student studying at the Royal Agricultural college and am currently undertaking a thesis project. This project largely focuses on weight and condition management factors used by UK horse owners. If you could spare some time to fill out my questionnaire which takes about 15 minutes your email address will be entered into a prize draw to win your choice of either a £50 Robinsons voucher or a written consultation for one horse by equine nutritionist Clare MacLeod MSc RNutr.
The main objectives of the study will be the following:

· To determine which methods if any are used by horse owners to monitor weight and condition and how these methods are undertaken and for what purpose, in doing so identifying limitations associated with the current methods used.

· To conduct research into methods used in humans and other animals and if these could be applied to the horse with perhaps improved accuracy than current methods.

· From this further research to apply practically in some form of product development or proposal.

So hopefully this research may aid in the long run to facilitate better welfare for our horses and potentially the development of easier and more accurate methods of weight and condition monitoring which horse owners can use.

Im not sure if i'm allowed to post the link on here so if you could Pm me for the link that would be great



Thankyou in advance for your time!
