Abstract

Horses are complex sentient beings with specific needs that together determine their degree of well-being. The well-being of hospitalized patients has been the focus of increasing interest in veterinary medicine. This article aims to review animal welfare practices that can be applied during the period of hospitalization of horses. Veterinary practice, whether in the field or in a hospital environment, must consider the principles of the five freedoms, seeking to promote positive emotions during patient treatment.
