Webinar – Lunchtime research review – Dr. Gillian Tabor on EquiAmiTM Training

Research review – The effects of the EquiAmiTM training aid on the kinematics of the horse at the walk and trot in-hand

The EquiAmi Training Aid (ETA) is a popular training and rehabilitation tool, however knowledge about its effect on the equine gait is lacking. Understanding of its effects on equine kinematics, and the clinical relevance of these effects is vital to promote optimal use of training aids within training and rehabilitation programmes. Therefore, this study aimed to determine how the ETA influences horses’ gait kinematics at walk and trot. Eight horses walked and trotted in-hand with and without the ETA.
