Abstract
⺠Feral horses show left-side biases in agonistic responses, reactivity and vigilance. ⺠Leftwards bias was stronger in behaviour involving higher aggression and reactivity. ⺠No population bias of forelimb preference was found in the feral horses. ⺠Immature horses showed stronger limb preferences than adults. ⺠Limb preference was associated with elevated attention to the environment.
