Study by team of veterinary surgeons, epidemiologists and sociologists
Horse owners are being are asked to take part in a study designed to improve equine health and welfare.
The study is being carried out by a team of veterinary surgeons, epidemiologists and sociologists at the University of Liverpool.
Owners and people who care for a horse are being asked how they view their horse's health.
Researchers also want to hear from people even if their horse had never been unwell.
They say owners and carers play a pivotal role in the health of their horses, and understanding how they view their horses health, will help vets to become better informed when it comes to giving tailored advice for specific issues.
Those wishing to take part will be send a questionnaire to fill in either online or return by post. Alternatively they may be asked if they would like to take part in a face-to-face discussion.
The questionnaire is due to be launched in April with further discussions running from October 2013.
The study is being funded by the British Veterinary Association, Animal Welfare Foundation Charity.
