Summary:

Brooke is an equine welfare charity, founded in 1934. We currently fund programmes to promote equine welfare in ten countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. A key element of our work includes activities to influence the behaviour of people who own or use equine animals, so that they treat their animals in ways which minimise harm and maximise welfare. To assess how successful this work is, we have developed a survey tool called Owner Behaviour Monitoring (OBM). The tool is designed to be used on an annual basis, so that progress in promoting desired behaviours can be tracked over time.

While the results provided by OBM so far have proved useful, Brooke would like to review its design and use. Specifically, we would like to ensure that is it adequate and appropriate for the tasks it is intended for, and to assess if it could be improved.
