Researchers found that avoiding small intestine resection, when possible, can help reduce complications and improve survival.

Researchers found that trotting over poles appears to help increase joints’ range of motion, and could be especially beneficial for horses that are recuperating from lameness.

But what effects could small, light racing saddles have on horses that are traveling considerably faster than the average reiner or jumper? Turns out these tiny pieces of tack can cause substantial pressure on horses’ backs.

Researchers found that the moment when horses switch between the trot and the canter results in a brief loss of stability and coordination, which appears to happen just after a change in the angle of the horses’ joints.
