PLoS ONE, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0221117Quantitative gait analysis has revealed that a large proportion of horses in training, perceived as free from lameness by their owners, show movement asymmetries of equal magnitude to horses with mild clinical lameness. Whether these movement asymmet... Read More about Effect of meloxicam treatment on movement asymmetry in riding horses in training.
