Effects of Transport Conditions on Behavioural and Physiological Responses of Horses
- BiologyAnimals : an open access journal from MDPI
- 2020
It is suggested that transportation in a rear-facing position and in wider bays might reduce the impact of transport on horse health and welfare, and monitoring behaviour in transit and physiological measurements after transportation should be recommended.
Behaviour during transportation predicts stress response and lower airway contamination in horses
- MedicinePloS one
- 2018
While transport-related health problems are multifactorial, clinical examination, including auscultation and endoscopic inspection of the lower respiratory tract before and after journey, and behavioural observation en route may identify animals at increased risk of transport associated respiratory disease.

Habituation to Transport Helps Reducing Stress-Related Behavior in Donkeys During Loading
- Biology, PsychologyFrontiers in Veterinary Science

It is suggested that habituation to transport could mitigate stress during loading procedures in donkeys reducing loading time, frequency of stress-related behaviors and diminishing the need of human intervention.
Ambience in the transport of horses and the effects on stress responses.

The equine transport is compromised by a number of concurrent factors, which explains the high rate of production loss in this stage, diseases attributed to, loss of body weight and death. These…
Effects of transportation positions and orientations on muscular damage of goats transported by road for 12 h during the hot-dry conditions

Physiological responses of horses undergoing 24 h of transport including changes in muscle metabolism, stress indices, dehydration and immune parameters, and body weight clearly showed and may increase disease susceptibility and influence energy availability for athletic performance following long-term transport of horses.
Effects of transporting horses facing either forwards or backwards on their behaviour and heart rate
- BusinessVeterinary Record
- 1996
The horses seemed to find being transported less physically stressful when they are facing backwards than when they were facing forwards, and there was no difference between transport facing forwards or backwards in terms of the peak unloading heart rate, or the average heart rate during loading or unloading.

Compared with "unaffected" horses, " affected" horses had a different pattern of changes in indices of the stress response, suggesting that they failed to adapt to transportation.
Circulating β-endorphin, adrenocorticotrophic hormone and cortisol levels of stallions before and after short road transport: stress effect of different distances
- Medicine, BiologyActa veterinaria Scandinavica
- 2008
The results obtained for short term transportation of stallions showed a very strong reaction of the adrenocortical system, and the lack of response of β-endorphin after transport of 200–300 km and of ACTH after Transport of 300 km seems to suggest a soothing effect of negative feedback of ACTh and cortisol levels.

It was suggested that transporting restrained horses with their heads facing backward is a rational way for transportation.
