Laterality in Sport Horses

In this video, the topic of laterality in horses is explored, which often relates to terms like “sidedness” or “suppleness” in the thoracolumbar region. The speaker presents common rider complaints, such as the horse being stronger in one rein or having an asymmetric scapula or muscle development. The presentation asks the critical questions of where natural laterality ends and clinical asymmetry begins, and whether veterinarians should, or even can, change it.
