A QTL for conformation of back and croup influences lateral gait quality in Icelandic horses

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background The back plays a vital role in horse locomotion, where the spine functions as a spring during the stride cycle. A complex interaction between the spine and the muscles of the back contribute to locomotion soundness, gait ability, and ...

Metabolic impact of weight variations in Icelandic horses

PeerJ, 2021
Background Insulin dysregulation (ID) is an equine endocrine disorder, which is often accompanied by obesity and various metabolic perturbations. The relationship between weight variations and fluctuations of the insulin response to oral glucose tests (OGT) as well as the metabolic impact of ID have been described ...

Conflict behaviour in Icelandic horses during elite competition

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2023
Sport horse welfare is currently under scrutiny. Among other issues, it has been pointed out that behavioural signs of discomfort are frequently overlooked during training and competitions. Previous studies reported a relatively high prevalence of these types of behaviour (e.g., tail swishing, mouth opening – typically jointly labelled ‘conflict ...

Isolation of equid alphaherpesvirus 3 from a horse in Iceland with equine coital exanthema

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2021
Equine coital exanthema (ECE) caused by equid alphaherpesvirus 3 (EHV-3) is a contagious venereal disease. It is characterized by the formation of papules, vesicles, pustules and ulcers on the external genitals of both mares and stallions.

Rein tension in harness trotters during on-track exercise

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Horseracing is under public scrutiny with increasing demands to safeguard horse welfare. It is accepted that, as a result of bit pressure and/or equipment, mouth lesions accompany many types of horse use, including racing. However, there are currently no

Efficient Development of Gait Classification Models for Five-Gaited Horses Based on Mobile Phone Sensors

Animals, 2023
Automated gait classification has traditionally been studied using horse-mounted sensors. However, smartphone-based sensors are more accessible, but the performance of gait classification models using data from such sensors has not been widely known or ...

Aetiological relevance of haematological, biochemical and endocrine parameters on equine odontoclastic tooth resorption and hypercementosis (EOTRH). [PDF]

Equine Vet J
Abstract Background The dental syndrome EOTRH is a painful, progressive dental disease with an unknown aetiology. The often painful nature of EOTRH emphasises the need for a better knowledge of the underlying pathogenic mechanism and risk factors. A comparative analysis of haematological, biochemical and endocrine values in EOTRH‐affected and non ...

Pressure Algometry in Icelandic Horses: Interexaminer and Intraexaminer Reliability

Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 2016
Reliability of pressure algometry as an outcome measure in equine research and therapy needs to be studied. The aim of the present study was to establish interexaminer and intraexaminer reliability of pressure algometry in Icelandic horses and to determine reference mechanical nociceptive threshold (MNT) values for that particular breed.
