No, I wouldn't seriously ask that question, would have hoped the answer was obvious.
Anyway, today I noticed that there was an article about stress in horses in the new British Horse magazine.
Good to see.
The article opened by reporting on a survey, which found that 90% of horse owners questioned believe that horses suffer signs of stress or anxiety. 44% have a horse that displays signs of stress, and 84% wish to reduce these signs. The stats look quite nice like this, but looked at another way...
... 1 in 10 horse owners don't believe horses can suffer signs of stress or anxiety
More than half the horses out there have owners who believe they don't display signs of stress
And 1 in 6 owners have no wish to reduce stress signs
Long way to go apparently!
