Abstract

Bioclimate measurements were conducted in a stable in the Zagreb region, with regard to the climatic conditions of this pad of Croatia, with the purpose of applying the results in future stable construction and improvement oi conditions in existing horse stables. Nineteen riding horses were kept in the stable. Thirteen were English full-blooded horses, and the rest were halfbreeds. During one year period (spring, summer, autumn, winter) bioclimate indicators (air temperature, relative and absolute air humidity, average radiation temperature, relative and absolute air humidity, average radiation temperature, air speed, and gases CO₂, NH₃, and H₂S) were monitored and their average values presented for each season of the year.
