Preliminary study on horses´ responses to different bridles (with or without bit) during basic train

Rising trot seems to be less demanding for the horse´s back compared to sitting trot

Behaviour of young horses seems to be affected by group management

Repeatability of horse´s jumping parameters with and without a rider

Housing conditions and breed are associated with emotionality and learning in riding school horses

Training

Does early exercise improve the jumping performance at three years old

In The Netherlands, a large and very interesting study was carried out in cooperation between the Animal Sciences Group of Wageningen University and Research Centre in Lelystad and the Veterinary Faculty in Utrecht

Learning performance in young horses

To achieve optimal performance in equine sports as well as leisure not only the physical abilities of the horse should be considered, but also the horse’s personality

Left-right preferences in movements in thoroughbred horses

The posture of the horse is assumed to have an impact on the horse’s locomotion
