39. Sleep Deprivation in Horses

Horses may not require as much sleep as humans, but quality sleep is still vital for your equine’s overall health and well-being.

Many factors can prevent a horse from getting enough quality sleep and lead to signs of sleep deprivation. Factors include pain, injury, health conditions, loud or bright barn environments, and even social hierarchy.

This podcast will review the current science on equine sleep patterns and the consequences, signs, and treatment of sleep deprivation in horses.
