A Kinematic Analysis of the Gallop of the Horse (Biomechanics, Gait, Equine, Locomotion, Canter)
… approach was used in a kinematic analysis of the equine transverse gallop gait. The stride characteristics of 4 American Quarter Horse fillies were used as a model. Horses were approximately 30 months of age and had been raised in similar environments. During a 12-week preparatory period horses …

The Effect of Stretching Regimes on Stride Length and Range of Motion of the Equine Trot
… studies quantifying the various influences on equine locomotion are widespread, however research on the effects of stretching on equine movement is limited and lacks in comparison to human medicine. Equine trainers should be aiming to facilitate movement that is natural, aesthetic and rewarding …

A descriptive study on three Icelandic horses measuring differences in vertical asymmetry during trot in a straight line and in a circle between two saddle placements using an objective gait analysis system
In Iceland, saddles are typically placed more caudally on the horse’s back than what is traditionally taught in other disciplines. It is believed to enhance shoulder freedom and overall gait performance, but there is very limited scientific evidence that supports this belief. This study aimed to …
