- The effect of diet change and insulin dysregulation on the faecal microbiome of ponies
Summary: Examination of the faecal microbiome of ponies introduced to pasture reveals that metabolically healthy ponies have greater microbial stability when challenged with this dietary change, compared with ponies with insulin dysregulation.
- Ground reaction forces of overground galloping in ridden Thoroughbred racehorses
Summary: Forces experienced by the limbs of racehorses during galloping increase with speed, concomitant with predictions from duty factor, though show an approximate 50:50 front:back impulse distribution, suggesting symmetry may be beneficial for injury avoidance.
