Pharmacokinetics of lignocaine in Icelandic horses after infiltration anaesthesia
Veterinary Record, 1996The pharmacokinetics of lignocaine was studied in four Icelandic horses after infiltration anaesthesia. A total of 240 mg of the drug was injected on either side of the left foreleg, over the medial and lateral branches of the palmar nerve. Blood samples were collected up to seven hours after injection and the concentrations of the drug in plasma were ...

Ground reaction forces and limb function in tölting Icelandic horses
Equine Veterinary Journal, 2004Summary Reasons for performing study : Gaited horses employ 4‐beat stepping (singlefoot) gaits that extend into speeds typical of trots. Ground reaction force (GRF) patterns of these specialised gaits have not been reported; therefore, appraisal of these gaits using nongaited horse kinetics may

MHC haplotype diversity in Icelandic horses determined by polymorphic microsatellites
Genes & Immunity, 2019The Icelandic horse has been maintained as a closed population in its eponymous homeland for many generations, with no recorded introductions of new horses of any breed since the year 1000 CE. Here we determined the diversity of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) haplotypes in 156 Icelandic horses from two groups, based on a panel of 12 polymorphic
