The goal of cold-blooded horses basicaly was to give draft horses to the agriculture in need. In novadays such as „biotractors” these animals serve in the agricultural production, in the mechanized world too. In addition their behavioural traits and less sensitivity makes them suitable for hobby horse keepers and usefull in some equusterian sport too (for example draft horse pull events). Thankfully for their physiological and external qualities these horses also used in horse meet producing mainly in the Europe. All of these utilizations based on the work with human, except the last one. However it is not safe to use horses. This specie react with scuttle for every threat in its natural habitat. This behaviour can be seen in any situation. In this case the horryfied horse become dangerous for its environment. It is not coincidence that the researchers started so much researchwork in the last years in the subject of horse ethology. In our research we analized the stresszreactions of the animals of hungarian cold-blooded horse breed. Therefore we used personality test and heart rate variability analizys in a hungarian stud farm.
