    How will you know if the horses' moods change? What metric will you use to assess a horse's mood/change?

    I will measure the horses heart beat. like for calming oil I will measure her heartbeat before I put the scent on her and see what her pulse is and then rub the scent on her nose and her shoulders and see what the pulse is after I use the oils.

    If you're going to be going down the road of peer reviewed scientific periodicals, I advise you to avoid "catchy" and to stick to facts:

    A Study of the Effects of Scent Oils on Horses

    However, heart rate alone probably won't be enough of a metric in term so measuring mood. As an observable trait, "mood" is too vague.

    FYI- If rubbing an oil on a horse's nose isn't a standard veterinary technique, I'd reconsider doing that. The horse may not approve of an oily nose and its mood may turn sour simply because of the oil rather than any scent the oil provides.

    Hi Everyone,

    I am closing this question since there hasn't been much recent activity.

    Thanks for participating!
