Similar locomotor patterns across Quarter Horse disciplines inform lameness assessment
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Lineage‐based selection is central to the Quarter Horse industry and is often justified by the assumption that morphology determines locomotor function. However, objective evidence linking static conformation to discipline‐specific locomotor behaviour under standardised conditions remains limited.

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Proximal interphalangeal joint osteoarthritis (PIPJ OA) is a common cause of poor performance in the equine athlete; however, the supporting soft tissue structures surrounding the joint are seldom evaluated. Straight sesamoidean ligament injuries have been previously hypothesised to be concomitant with PIPJ OA; however, the ...

Pelvic axial rotation in hindlimb lame horses changes after diagnostic analgesia
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Visual assessment of mild to moderate hindlimb lameness has low sensitivity and specificity, potentially leading to flawed diagnostic procedures. Pelvic axial rotation (roll) makes the assessment more complex but is also a potential source of information. Objectives To describe pelvic roll patterns in horses with unilateral hindlimb

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Flysheet use is common without any published scientific evidence to justify their use. Objectives To demonstrate the effectiveness of flysheets at reducing fly avoidance behaviours and measuring changes in body temperature, heart rate, and cortisol levels. Study Design Ten‐week alternating crossover design.

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background In clinical practice, lameness evaluation often relies on visual assessment under different examination conditions, including ground and figures, and remains subjective. Although objective symmetry indices provide quantitative measures of gait asymmetry, their interpretation across multiple conditions remains challenging because ...

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Lameness is the most common health problem in riding horses, and insurance data have previously been used to investigate the prevalence of orthopaedic diagnoses in Swedish Warmblood (SWB) horses. Young horse performance testing is an important part of the SWB breeding programme and contributes data to the genetic evaluation ...
