Kinematic characteristics of hoof landing in jumping horses at elite level

    Publication: Contribution to journal › Journal article › peer-review

    Abstract

    The landing and braking characteristics of the hooves varied substantially between hind-, fore-, trailing and leading limbs. Developing mechanical testing devices for arena surfaces, this fairly wide range of biomechanical events must be considered, in order to simulate the horse-surface interaction.
