The aim of this study was to investigate how an owner's relationship with their horse affects decisions around key events during their horse's lifetime.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>\n                    : An online survey and semi\u2010structured telephone interviews were conducted with horse\u2010owners. The online survey asked horse owners about their experiences of decision\u2010making and their relationship with their horse and identified interview participants. Two semi\u2010structured interviews were conducted with 11 horse owners on their experience of purchasing and euthanasia of horses. Interviews were recorded and transcribed, and thematic analysis was performed.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\n                    : There were 938 responses to the online survey. The majority of owners considered their horse to be a member of the family (92.9%, 808\/870). The mean amount spent annually on their horse was \u00a39215 (range \u00a3324\u201314,240). Seven themes were identified in the interviews including mismatching of horse and rider; financial, time, welfare and personal obligations involved in horse ownership; shared\u2010decision making; the horse's quality of life; guilt and responsibility grief surrounding euthanasia decisions.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>\n                    : This study highlighted the strong owner\u2010horse relationship, the significant obligations involved in horse ownership and the emotional impact of euthanasia decisions.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/vetr.79","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,29]],"date-time":"2021-01-29T01:40:42Z","timestamp":1611884442000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Qualitative study of the influence of horse\u2010owner relationship during some key events within a horse's lifetime"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"188","author":[{"given":"Harriet","family":"Clough","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine and Science University of Nottingham  Loughborough UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2521-2205","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mandy","family":"Roshier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine and Science University of Nottingham  Loughborough UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5800-3106","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gary","family":"England","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine and Science University of Nottingham  Loughborough UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0505-1520","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John","family":"Burford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine and Science University of Nottingham  Loughborough UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3119-2207","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Freeman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine and Science University of Nottingham  Loughborough UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","unstructured":"HorsemanS WhayB MullanS KnowlesT BarrA BullerH.Horses in our hands: the welfare challenges facing the UK's equine population.2016.http:\/\/www.worldhorsewelfare.org\/survey\u2010equine\u2010welfare\u2010england\u2010and\u2010wales.
