The HERD reports

The purpose of the diagnostics is to help determine the suitability of the horse for the person and contribute to the well-being of the person-horse binomial, based on the description of the horse's habitual behaviours when interacting with people and other horses. There are two versions of the report:

Summary report

It is free and shows the summary graphs of the main dimensions analyzed.

Detailed report

It is activated for all the questionnaires of the same user after that user contributes financially to the project.

It offers, in addition to the summary with the main dimensions analyzed, detailed graphics of the facets of each of the dimensions, explanatory texts and indicators of the behaviours that can be improved. In the future, this report will also include explanations on how to intervene on the aforementioned behaviours.

There are multiple ways this report can help people and horses. On the one hand, it makes it easier for the person to review all those seemingly insignificant details that occur while grooming, riding or leaving the horse in the stable, helping the person to focus on those behaviours that are undesirable or improvable. At the same time, it integrates all this information in a single document, which allows the progressive approach to problems by the user or by an expert who helps him/her. On the other hand, it offers information on the personality of the binomial, helping the user to understand which part of the problematic behaviours are due to how the parts are, which can affect the relief of pressure on the horse, affecting its well-being, but also in the psychological well-being of the person.
