a different outcome this adaptation could either be using horses that are only fully clipped or partially clipped or having a comparison of the two groups. 5.3 Behaviour Behaviour of the horses changed throughout the light therapy sessions and this behaviour change was significant (p<.0001). Overall, the number of negative responses exhibited from the horses reduced post treatment than were presented before treatment began. This result in itself is very pleasing and is a positive result for light therapy users. However when combined with the fact that positive and neutral responses exhibited increased after treatment it has an even stronger effect. This shows that horses are not suffering or in pain as Dyson et al., (2017) ethogram study suggests. Whilst the current study’s ethogram was based upon Dyson et al., (2017) it does have some flaws that should be considered when interpreting the results. There are a higher number of positive behaviours on the ethogram than negative and neutral, therefore it is very likely that the positive group of behaviours would have a higher result. Despite this factor, the results for positive group are so high that even if there was the same number of behaviours for each behaviour type, the same outcome would have been observed. Mcbride et al., (2004) used a different type of assessing behaviour. Horses in the Mcbride et al., (2004) paper were ‘scored’ on a scale of 1-5 according to how they responded to massage on different areas. Although this method appears effective, the evaluation was completed by one person. Therefore, it is subjective. Subjective evaluations are not always the best way to analyse a situation as discovered by Hammerberg et al., (2016). For example out of 86 veterinarians only 33% of them agreed on a lameness diagnosis based on subjective evaluation. There are so many different facts that affect subjective evaluations such as experience and understanding therefore it would have been more beneficial for Mcbride et al., (2004) to have a scoring system similar to the ethogram presented by Dyson et al., (2017) as the ethogram is deemed more objective. Based on this, the behaviour scoring system of the Dyson et al., (2017) paper is more effective than the Mcbride et al., (2004) system and is more up to date and concurrent. Dyson et al., (2017) allows 25PDF Image | THE EFFECT OF LIGHT THERAPY ON HEART RATE, HORSES
