Case Study: The Rescue Horse Who Wouldn't Stop Weaving

Imagine a thoroughbred who spends hours swaying back and forth in his stall—a stereotypy called "weaving."

• Pure Behavior view: The horse is bored. Enrichment is needed.
• Pure Veterinary view: The horse’s joints look fine. No fever. He’s "healthy."

The Combined Approach: A veterinary exam reveals mild gastric ulcers (common in racehorses). The pain of the ulcers is triggered by stress. The horse weaves to cope with the stress of the pain. Pure Behavior view: The horse is bored

• Treatment: Treat the ulcers (omeprazole) + change feeding schedule (constant forage) + add a mirror to the stall.
• Result: The weaving drops by 80%. You can’t train away an ulcer.

The Results

Clinics adopting low-stress protocols report:

• Fewer staff injuries
• More complete physical exams (relaxed animals are easier to auscultate and palpate)
• Higher client compliance with follow-up visits
• Better medical outcomes (e.g., accurate blood pressure readings in hypertensive cats)
