The objective of this study therefore was to develop and validate a system for injury recording in horses and to test its reliability and feasibility under field conditions. Methods Injuries were classified into five categories according to severity. The scoring system was tested for intra-and inter-observer agreement as well as agreement with a golden standard diagnosis established by a veterinarian . The scoring was done by 43 agricultural students who classified 40 photographs presented to them twice in a random order 10 days apart. Attribute agreement analysis was performed using Kendall s coefficient of concordance Kendall s W Kendall s correlation coefficient Kendall s t and Fleiss kappa. The system was also tested on a sample of 100 horses kept in groups where injury location was recorded as well. Results Intra-observer agreement showed Kendall s W ranging from to and 86 of observers had kappa values above substantial agreement . Inter-observer agreement had an overall Kendall s W of and the mean kappa value was moderate . Agreement for all observers versus the golden standard had Kendall s t of and the mean kappa value was substantial . The system was easy to use for trained persons under field conditions. Injuries of the more serious categories were not found in the field trial. Conclusion The proposed injury scoring system is easy to learn and use also for people without a veterinary education it shows high reliability and it is .
