Journal Article
Mackechnie-Guire, R., Mackechnie-Guire, E., Fisher, M., Mathie, H., Bush, R., Pfau, T., & Weller, R. (2018). Relationship between saddle and rider kinematics, horse locomotion and thoracolumbar pressures in sound horses. Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jevs.2018.06.003

Reason for performing the study: Saddle fit is considered to be a crucial factor for the health and performance of horses, yet there is a paucity of scientific data. Objective: To determine the relationship between saddle and rider kinematics, horse...

Effect of a unilateral hind limb orthotic lift on upper body movement symmetry in the trotting horse (2018)
Journal Article
Vertz, J., Deblanc, D., Rhodin, M., & Pfau, T. (2018). Effect of a unilateral hind limb orthotic lift on upper body movement symmetry in the trotting horse. PLoS ONE, 13(6), e0199447. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0199447

In trotting horses, movement asymmetry is associated with ground reaction force asymmetry. In humans, limb length differences influence contralateral force production. Here we investigate whether horses, in immediate reaction to limb length changes,...
