Smirnova, K., Frill, M., Warner, S., & Cheney, J. (2024). Shape change in the saddle region of the equine backduring trot and walk. Journal of the Royal Society, Interface, 21(215), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2023.0644

Equine back pain is prevalent among ridden horses and is often attributed to poor saddle fit. An alternative explanation is that saddle fits are technically good but fit to the wrong configuration. Saddles are fit for the standing horse, but much of... Read More about Shape change in the saddle region of the equine backduring trot and walk.

Regional variation in digital cushion pressure in the forefeet of horses and elephants (2014)
Journal Article
Warner, S. E., Henry, V., Roskilly, K., Hildebrandt, T., Panagiotopoulou, O., & Hutchinson, J. R. (2014). Regional variation in digital cushion pressure in the forefeet of horses and elephants. PeerJ PrePrints, https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.231v1

In this study, we seek to understand how the digital cushion morphologies evident in horse and elephant feet influence internal and external foot pressures. Our novel use of invasive blood pressure monitoring equipment, combined with a pressure pad a... Read More about Regional variation in digital cushion pressure in the forefeet of horses and elephants.
