Abstract
In a method for sensing a horse's moods, in which multiple sensors sense physical parameters of the horse and a statement on the horse's well-being is derived from said measured values, the position of at least one ear is sensed by a sensor, and a statement reflecting the horse's mood in a differentiated manner on the basis of body language-related signals is output.

-11. (canceled)
A method for determining moods of a horse, comprising the steps of:
- determining, by a plurality of sensors, physiological parameters of the horse, including determining at least one of a movement and position of at least one ear of the horse;

- and
- outputting a statement derived from the determined physiological parameters indicating the moods of the horse.
1 more element
A device for capturing moods of a horse, comprising:
- a sensor attached to one of an ear clip or an ear protector, the sensor determining at least one of a position and movement of the ear, and
- an electronic unit evaluating the sensor data, the electronic unit configured to receive signals from the sensor indicating the determined at least one a position and movement of the ear and to recognize and quantify the body language signals mediated by the ear.
