Extract

Recently there has been an increased interest in equine personality research. Previous studies have indicated the ability of human raters to assess equine personality (Morris et al., 2002). The aim of the present study was to assess reliability of personality assessment using a questionnaire rating method and to correlate personality data with recorded behaviour. Further development of the assessment method, and a greater understanding of equine personality may lead to applications in the equine industry, uses may include the implementation of equine personality during the selection of horses for particular equine disciplines.
