“…The sliding stop is a manoeuvre with similar features to the esbarrada, characteristic in the reining, a Western riding discipline. In this equestrian sport, the horse is subjected to abrupt deceleration from a fast gallop to a sliding stop, maintaining balance and sliding on the pelvic limbs [12,13], a manoeuvre like that performed by horses in the Criollo breed, despite having a striking visual characteristic of the head being kept in a lower position, with the neck being positioned cranioventrally extended. Within this context, the descriptive data presented fills an existing scientific gap, serving as a basis for different equestrian disciplines where the execution of this movement is required.…”

Background: Manoeuvres esbarrada and volta sobre patas are fundamental movements in equestrian activities, yet their kinematics remain largely unexplored. Objectives: This observational study aimed to kinematically describe the movements of esbarrada and volta sobre patas in Criollo breed horses. Methods: Kinematic analysis was conducted on 31 Criollo horses executing esbarrada and volta sobre patas manoeuvres. Results: The esbarrada maneuver covered a distance of 4.28 ± 0.99m in 1.15 ± 0.11s at a velocity of 3.77 ± 0.55m/s. Angular kinematic variables revealed specific joint angles during the maneuver. In volta sobre patas, significant differences were found in spin duration and thoracic limb suspension between the first and second spins. Conclusions: Volta sobre patas demonstrated prolonged spinning duration and increased thoracic limb suspension in the second spin. Additionally, static conformation did not correlate with limb protraction angles during esbarrada.
