The article reports a meta-analysis of 58 peer-reviewed studies investigating on dorsoventral hyperflexion the neck in horses, practice under substantial public and scientific scrutiny for past two decades. following databases were last searched 28.05.2023: CAB, Google Scholar, Web Science, NAL/Agricola, PubMed ScienceDirect. After evaluating conclusions each study, we performed statistical analyses to establish consensus welfare performance (performance marks, kinematics musculoskeletal) outcomes horses performing with hyperflexed head posture (HNP). analysis revealed that significant majority articles (75% n = 36; Z 3.00; P>|Z|=0.0027) expressed concerns about working this posture. Parameters such as dressage training level, prior experience, duration, method achieving did not influence concern significantly (P > 0.1). Therefore, it appears impairs regardless how is imposed. A concurrent assessment weight evidence benefits showed inconclusive results: approximately one-quarter detrimental effects, while largest proportion (44%) no effect performance. On balance, costs associated HNPs exceed potential benefits.

This research applies unsupervised learning on a large original dataset of horses in the wild to identify previously unidentified horse emotions. We construct novel, high-quality, diverse 3929 images consisting five breeds worldwide at different geographical locations. base our analysis seven Panksepp emotions mammals "Exploring", "Sadness", "Playing", "Rage", "Fear", "Affectionate" and "Lust", along with one additional emotion "Pain" which has been shown be highly relevant for horses. apply contrastive framework MoCo (Momentum Contrast Unsupervised Visual Representation Learning) predict using learning. significantly modify framework, building custom downstream classifier network that connects frozen CNN encoder is pretrained MoCo. Our method allows learn similarities differences within image groups its own without labels. The clusters thus formed are indicative deeper nuances complexities horse's mood, can possibly hint towards existence novel complex equine
