Individually the three of us watched 2 videos of domestic Morgan horses, Equus-caballus, at the UMass Hadley Farm. Both videos had two mares and two foals off about 6 months old. We individually watched and observed the behaviors of the four horses for 48 minutes and 35 seconds and created a list of behaviors and recorded the time each behavior occurred. We compared our lists and compiled all the behaviors into one table and categorized them into 6 categories: grooming, locomotion, playing, feeding, comfort, and body positioning. We determined the categories by grouping like behaviors together and establishing certain characteristics of each category. We rewatched the videos and took a screenshot of each behavior at the time that we observed each behavior. The screenshots were placed into the table and a description of each behavior was created.
