Have you tried putting a cheap phone heart monitor / sound monitor / sleep monitor app on the horse directly ?
I.e. you let the horses tell you when they feel stressed.
Depending on the network quality you can stream everything and process in the cloud.

My guess would that in the event of a disturbance, the horses would be much more active (moving around) more than one might expect? Integrated with the above; it strikes me that you need some 'disturbance-phenotype' to detect for. IE, you can get the data-loggers and instrumentation onto the beast, but then you need a way of defining 'disturbance'. Maybe once you've got that definition you can set up some spotlights to come on automatically once a certain level of 'disturbance' is met?
- aspyct 6y agoThat's worth investigating. Horses do sometimes run around, because they're scared of just for fun, but that would be a good study anyway :)
