Clayton 1,2,* and Sarah Jane Hobbs 3 1 Sport Horse Science, 3145 Sandhill Road, Mason, MI 48854, USA 2 College of Veterinary Medicine, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA 3 Centre for Applied Sport and Exercise Sciences, University of Central Lancashire, Preston PR1 2HE, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-517-333-3833 Received: 17 September 2019; Accepted: 2 October 2019; Published: 3 October 2019 Simple Summary: This paper reviews the biomechanical classification of diagonally coordinated gaits of dressage horses, specifically, collected trot, passage and piaffe. Each gait was classified as a walking gait or a running gait based on three criteria: limb kinematics, ground reaction forces and center of mass mechanics. The data for trot and passage were quite similar and both were classified as running gaits according to all three criteria. In piaffe, the limbs have relatively long stance durations and there are no aerial phases, so kinematically it was classified as a walking gait. However, the shape of the vertical ground reaction force curve and the strategies used to control movements of the center of mass were more similar to those of a running gait. The hind limbs act as springs with limb compression increasing progressively from collected trot to passage to piaffe, whereas the forelimbs show less compression in passage and piaffe and behave more like struts. Abstract: Gaits are typically classified as walking or running based on kinematics, the shape of the vertical ground reaction force (GRF) curve, and the use of inverted pendulum or spring-mass mechanics during the stance phase.

    THROUGH ENGLAND ON A SIDE-SADDLE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Celia Fiennes | 96 pages | 02 Apr 2009 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780141191072 | English | London, United Kingdom Sidesaddle - Wikipedia Ninth century depictions show a small footrest, or planchette added to the pillion. In Europe , the sidesaddle developed in part because of cultural norms which considered it unbecoming for a woman to straddle a horse while riding. This was initially conceived as a way to protect the hymen of aristocratic girls, and thus the appearance of their being virgins. However, women did ride horses and needed to be able to control their own horses, so there was a need for a saddle designed to allow control of the horse and modesty for the rider. The earliest functional "sidesaddle" was credited to Anne of Bohemia — The design made it difficult for a woman to both stay on and use the reins to control the horse, so the animal was usually led by another rider, sitting astride. The insecure design of the early sidesaddle also contributed to the popularity of the Palfrey , a smaller horse with smooth ambling gaits, as a suitable mount for women. A more practical design, developed in the 16th century, has been attributed to Catherine de' Medici. In her design, the rider sat facing forward, hooking her right leg around the pommel of the saddle with a horn added to the near side of the saddle to secure the rider's right knee. The footrest was replaced with a "slipper stirrup ", a leather-covered stirrup iron into which the rider's left foot was placed.

  • Kinematic Analysis of the Collected and Extended Jog and Lope of the Stock Breed Western Pleasure Horse
    Kinematic Analysis of the Collected and Extended Jog and Lope of the Stock Breed Western Pleasure Horse by Joanna Elizabeth Shroyer A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama December 13, 2010 Keywords: kinematics, stock breed western pleasure, jog, lope Copyright 2010 by Joanna Elizabeth Shroyer Approved by Wendi H. Weimar, Chair, Associate Professor of Kinesiology Robert Gillette, Director of Animal Health and Performance Program David D. Pascoe, Professor of Kinesiology Elizabeth L. Wagner, Assistant Professor of Animal Sciences Abstract Scientific research concerning stock breed western pleasure horses is limited. Therefore the purposes of this investigation were to determine if stock breed western pleasure horses 1) alter stride length independently of stride duration for the collected and extended jog and lope; 2) perform the extended jog and lope as a gait that more closely follows guidelines set forth by major stock breed associations for western pleasure competition than does the collected jog and lope; 3) maintain a more correct head and topline carriage during the extended jog and lope than during the collected jog and lope, and 4) perform the extended jog and lope with a more natural way of going thereby reducing risk of joint injury and trauma compared to the collected jog and lope. Reflective markers were placed over seven points on the lateral side of the left and right fore and hindlimbs as well as the medial aspect of the coffin bone; additional markers tracked the temporal bone and vertebral column.
