Figure 5.
Median values for the resting observations of the horses in Study 2 (n = 8), for different housing systems and different available lying areas. White boxes show standing rest, light grey boxes show sternal recumbency, and dark grey boxes show lateral recumbency. The horses exhibited longer standing rest in single boxes than in the lying halls. They spent longer in both sternal and lateral recumbency in single boxes and in the lying hall with a lying area of 18 m2/horse compared with the lying hall with a lying area of 8 m2/horse.
