Prejudicial findings regarding suitability for intended purpose during pre-purchase examinations in a mixed horse population-A retrospective observational study in the United Kingdom (2024)
Journal Article
Shelton, A., Tupper, J., & Bolt, D. (2024). Prejudicial findings regarding suitability for intended purpose during pre-purchase examinations in a mixed horse population-A retrospective observational study in the United Kingdom. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.14061

BackgroundPre-purchase examinations (PPEs) are performed for prospective purchasers of horses to identify prejudicial findings that could make animals unsuitable for an intended use. Although this examination process is often standardised, PPEs remai...

Changes in Head, Withers, and Pelvis Movement Asymmetry in Lame Horses as a Function of Diagnostic Anesthesia Outcome, Surface and Direction (2022)
Journal Article
Marunova, E., Hoenecke, K., Fiske-Jackson, A., Smith, R., Bolt, D., Perrier, M., …Pfau, T. (2022). Changes in Head, Withers, and Pelvis Movement Asymmetry in Lame Horses as a Function of Diagnostic Anesthesia Outcome, Surface and Direction. Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 118, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jevs.2022.104136

Evaluation of diagnostic anesthesia during equine lameness examination requires comparison of com-plex movement patterns and can be influenced by expectation bias. There is limited research about how changes in movement asymmetries after successful a...

Retrospective analysis of oblique and straight distal sesamoidean ligament desmitis in 52 horses (2021)
Journal Article
Hawkins, A., O’Leary, L., Bolt, D., Fiske‐Jackson, A., Berner, D., & Smith, R. (2021). Retrospective analysis of oblique and straight distal sesamoidean ligament desmitis in 52 horses. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.13438

Background Injuries to the oblique (ODSL) or straight (SDSL) distal sesamoidean ligaments are a recognised cause of distal limb lameness in the horse. However, there are only limited publications addressing common diagnostic features and prognosis....

Technical innovation changes standard radiographic protocols in veterinary medicine: is it necessary to obtain two dorsoproximal-palmarodistal oblique views of the equine foot when using computerised radiography systems? (2016)
Journal Article
Whitlock, J., Dixon, J., Sherlock, C., Tucker, R., Bolt, D. M., & Weller, R. (2016). Technical innovation changes standard radiographic protocols in veterinary medicine: is it necessary to obtain two dorsoproximal-palmarodistal oblique views of the equine foot when using computerised radiography systems?. Veterinary Record, 178(21), https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.103396

Since the 1950s, veterinary practitioners have included two separate dorsoproximal–palmarodistal oblique (DPr–PaDiO) radiographs as part of a standard series of the equine foot. One image is obtained to visualise the distal phalanx and the other to v...
