Internation Survey Exploring Rider-Perceived Sideedness of the Horse

PRESENTER: Russell MacKechnie-Guire
Description

In this video, the speaker presents findings from an international survey exploring the rider’s perception of a horse’s sideedness and asymmetry. Common rider complaints are listed, including the horse being stronger in one rein or having an unequal quality of movement. The lecture prompts a discussion about where normal sideedness ends and true clinical asymmetry begins, stressing that veterinarians need to understand the underlying cause.
