The effect of an abrupt change in functional surface properties on equine kinematics and neuromuscular activity
Arena surfaces used for training and competition are influenced by factors such as weather and maintenance, which can lead to spatial variations in functional surface properties. The ability of the horse to adapt to such changes may have implications for injury prevention. The aim of the PhD was to …

Rein tension at two different speeds in tölt in Icelandic riding horses
Markmið þessarar rannsóknar var að kanna hvort og þá hvernig hraði hefur áhrif á taumþrýsting á tölti í hópi íslenskra reiðhesta. Taumþrýstingur var mældur á mismunandi hraða á tölti, það var hraða 1 (meðaltal 3,36 ± 0,47 m/s) og hraða 2 (meðaltal 4,77 ± 0,39 m/s) hjá sjö íslenskum reiðhestum. …
