The purpose of the study is to determine the algorithm for developing a protocol for assessing the welfare of herd horses. The objects of research were herds of the Kyrgyz aboriginal horse breed. The studies were carried out in horse-breeding farms of the Kyrgyz Republic, where year-round grazing of horses with the use of herd technology is mainly used. The research methods were comparative and systematic analyzes. Results. To develop a protocol for assessing the welfare of herd horses, a 6-point algorithm was adopted. The strategy for the development of the protocol was selected and justified; the concept of the evaluation protocol, the welfare of the herd horses was defined; the principles, criteria and indicators of the well-being protocol were refined and adapted; types of measurements are defined; summarizing systems have been developed; the main provisions of "Legal aspects and responsibilities" in assessing the welfare of herd horses have been determined. As a result of the research, a model protocol was developed, consisting of 3 principles of well-being, 7 criteria for well-being and 20 indicators for assessing well-being
