“…For many centuries horses were considered working farm animals, an integral part of land cultivation, transportation, and agricultural trade; this changed in the mid-twentieth century, when horses were rapidly replaced by machinery. Currently, horses are used mostly for recreational activities and sporting events (Vial & Evans, 2015).…”

Green care is an umbrella term that includes numerous therapeutic interventions that immerse the patient into nature and natural environments. Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) with farm animals is a component of green care that may benefit patients with mental health disorders. While the majority of research exploring farm AATs originated in Europe, interest in this therapeutic intervention is emerging in the United States. While there are green care farms utilizing animal therapies in the United States, these therapeutic interventions have not been reported in the scientific literature. Further exploration of this topic in the United States may benefit various patient populations and contribute to overall better health care. A literature review found that farm AATs may be beneficial for patients with mental health disorders, but did not identify any studies addressing AAT with farm animals in the context of physical health disorders. This may be a desirable direction for future research.

“…Equines are also present in suburban areas: 75% of equines are encountered in the most inhabited areas in Sweden, for example [45]. This is also the case in Scotland [46], Germany [47], France [48], and Belgium [17]. Equines are also present in Polish post-agricultural lands and forests [49], Spanish heathlands [27], and British grasslands [25].…”

“…Equines are also present in Polish post-agricultural lands and forests [49], Spanish heathlands [27], and British grasslands [25]. Studies across Europe agree that equines, whatever their use, are located in various kinds of lands: (a) suburban areas, (b) rural areas, and (c) sensitive areas, such as mountains [17,[44][45][46][47][48].…”

Despite the decline of equine populations in the middle of the 20th century, the European horse industry is growing again thanks to economic alternatives found in the diversification of the uses of equines (sports, racing, leisure, etc.). Equines have many environmental advantages, but the fragmentation of the sector and the lack of synthetic knowledge about their environmental impacts do not enable the promotion of these assets and their effective inclusion in management practices and European policies. To highlight the equine environmental impacts, a literature review was carried out to cover the main European stakes. This work led to the identification of five “green assets”, fields where equines show unique environmental advantages compared to other agricultural productions. These green assets are linked to the nature of equines (grazing and domestic biodiversity), to their geographical distribution (land use), and to their use by human beings (tourism and work). Today, when searching for sustainable solutions to modern environmental issues, the use of equines is a neglected green alternative. Better knowledge and use of equine green assets could partly respond to more ecological agricultural needs and contribute to the development of this animal industry, which has a place in regional development and in Europe’s sustainable transition.

“…Plusieurs travaux étudient les problématiques de développement territorial, économique ou identitaire, sous l'angle du cheval (Pickel-Chevalier et Evans, 2015). Observant le secteur du loisir, ils analysent la contribution de la filière équine au développement du tourisme, en France (Leroy du Cardonnoy et Vial, 2017 ;Vial, 2009) comme à l'étranger (Vial et Evans, 2015 ;Pickel-Chevalier et Evans, 2015). Ces travaux reflètent une dimension essentielle de la filière équine prise dans sa globalité : le fait qu'elle incarne deux mondes socioprofessionnels a priori décorrélés, à savoir le monde agricole et le monde du sport et des loisirs.…”
