The effect of two different housing conditions on the welfare of young horses stabled for the first time (2008, background): “Nicol et al. (2005) studied the effect of different diets on stress during the weaning period and Heleski et al. (2002) studied the effect of housing (paddock versus stable) in weanlings.”
Understanding weaning distress (2008, background): “For example, Nicol et al. (2005) examined theeffectofchanges in the physicalenvironmentbycomparing foalsweaned byremoving the mare and leaving the foals on the paddock or by taking the foals to a barn.”
Maternal deprivation and the development of stereotypic behaviour (2008, background): “Similarly, foals singly housed in stalls (‘box-weaned’) or peer-grouped in barns following weaning develop more pawing and licking behaviours than group-housed foals in paddocks (e.g. Heleski et al., 2002; Nicol et al., 2005).”
