It has been suggested that one of the underlying causes of asymmetrical performance and
left/right bias in sound riding horses is laterality originating in the cerebral cortices described …

Traditionally and when using objective gait analysis, horses with and without lameness are
most frequently assessed trotting in straight lines in hand. Valuable information can be …

A high proportion of horses in training, perceived as free from lameness by their owner,
exhibit vertical movement asymmetries. These types of asymmetries are sensitive measures …

Many horses, just before and during their athletic career, show vertical movement
asymmetries, to the same degree as clinically lame horses. It is unknown whether these …

In functional laterality research, most ungulate livestock species have until recently been
mainly overlooked. However, there are many scientific and practical benefits of studying …

Simple Summary For centuries, straightening a horse has been considered a key element in
achieving its responsiveness and suppleness and has been a traditional goal in training …

This study explored the relationship between four measures of canine paw preference to
establish whether the distribution, direction or strength of motor bias was consistent between …

Recent research has drawn attention to the link between lateral bias and cerebral functional
asymmetry in animals. Most studies of animal laterality have focused on limb use arising …

The walk and trot are inherently symmetrical gaits, making them potentially suitable for the
detection of left-right asymmetries. The aims of this study were to describe asymmetrical …

High-level dressage horses regularly perform advanced movements, requiring coordination
and force transmission between front and hind limbs across the thoracolumbosacral region …
