Differences in motor laterality between breeds of performance horse
PD McGreevy, PC Thomson - Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2006 - Elsevier
This study examined the relationship between motor laterality in horses bred for different
types of work and therefore different temperaments. Foreleg preference during grazing was
measured in three populations of domestic horse, Thoroughbreds (TB, bred to race at the
gallop), Standardbreds (SB, bred for pacing) and Quarter Horses (QH, in this case bred for
so-called “cutting work” which involves manoeuvring individual cattle in and out of herds).
With a one-sample t-test, TBs showed strong evidence of a left preference in motor laterality …
