Variability of Manson and Leaver locomotion scores assigned to dairy cows by different observers
Journal Article
Channon, A. J., Walker, A. M., Pfau, T., Sheldon, I. M., & Wilson, A. M. Variability of Manson and Leaver locomotion scores assigned to dairy cows by different observers. Veterinary Record, 164(13), 388-392

The gait scoring system developed by Manson and Leaver was used by five experienced observers to assess the gait of 83 milking Holstein-Friesian cows in a live recording session, and video recordings were made. The agreement between the scores of the... Read More about Variability of Manson and Leaver locomotion scores assigned to dairy cows by different observers.

A comparison of the moment arms of pelvic limb muscles in horses bred for acceleration (Quarter Horse) and endurance (Arab)
Journal Article
Crook, T. C., Cruickshank, S. E., McGowan, C. M., Stubbs, N., Wilson, A. M., Hodson-Tole, E. F., & Payne, R. C. (in press). A comparison of the moment arms of pelvic limb muscles in horses bred for acceleration (Quarter Horse) and endurance (Arab). Journal of Anatomy, 217(1), 26-37. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7580.2010.01241.x

Selective breeding for performance has resulted in distinct breeds of horse, such as the Quarter Horse (bred for acceleration) and the Arab (bred for endurance). Rapid acceleration, seen during Quarter Horse racing, requires fast powerful muscular co...

Physical activity: does long-term, high-intensity exercise in horses result in tendon degeneration?
Journal Article
Birch, H. L., Wilson, A. M., & Goodship, A. E. Physical activity: does long-term, high-intensity exercise in horses result in tendon degeneration?. Journal of Applied Physiology, 105(6), 1927-1933. https://doi.org/10.1152/japplphysiol.00717.2007

This study explores the hypothesis that high-intensity exercise induces degenerative changes in the injury-prone equine superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT), but not in the rarely injured common digital extensor tendon (CDET). The horse represent... Read More about Physical activity: does long-term, high-intensity exercise in horses result in tendon degeneration?.
