New Research Associates for the SRT

The Saddle Research Trust are very pleased to announce that The Centre for Equine Studies (CES) of the Animal Health Trust (AHT)

 

Line Greve, a current intern at the AHT, is using preliminary SRT findings as a basis for her longitudinal study whilst based at the AHT:

"We have observed that the saddle slips consistently to one side on some horses. The reasons include a crooked rider, an ill-fitting saddle, asymmetry in the shape of the horse’s back and lameness. We are currently performing a prospective study, in collaboration with the Saddle Research Trust, to try to understand this problem better. Preliminary observations indicate that lameness may be the most important factor."

 

 

The results of this study are to be presented at the British Equine Veterinary Association annual conference 2012.
