Abstract:Aim
To identify how riding rein direction (left and right) and rider asymmetry affect tölt performance in Icelandic horses.
Methods
Two horses were ridden in tölt by four riders on both left and right reins. Riders wore pressure insoles that measured the total absolute force (FAbs) and absolute force difference (FDiff) in their left and right feet in the stirrups. A 3D motion-analysis system recorded the degrees of side-to-side movement in the pelvis (RollP) and in the thoracolumbar region (RollT). Lateral a… Show more
