Aspekte zur Auslaufgestaltung in Pferdehaltungssystemen

Horse keeping has become an important part of animal husbandry; the number of horses in Germany has increased from about 350,000 to about 900,000 in the last ten years. Many of these animals are pleasure riding horses, which are mostly kept in single boxes and have not always access to paddocks. These animals constantly need freedom of movement within the keeping systems. The paddock should be designed to meet their specific requirements and the requirements regarding environmental impact.
