Research is6. Equine Symptomatic Lameness. By Jochen Schleese, CMS, CSFT, CSE Why is my horse lame?
Why does he keep stumbling? Why does he seem to trip over his own feet? The horse suffering from back pain or injuries can exhibit symptomatic lameness, which can also manifest as behaviour issues including stubbornness or resistance. When the horse is displaying symptoms of lameness and logical treatments are not working, the horse’s owner may turn to injections, anti-inflammatory creams, or chiropractic adjustments at the sacroiliac joint. Symptomatic lameness often appears as a problem in the right hind leg. Above and Below: This saddle’s gullet channel is too narrow and the saddle has shifted to the left.
When the horse is in the cross-ties, the average fitted saddle appears to fit well. Shoulder-blade rotation and movement during different foreleg motion.

"Horses can stand on their feet for long periods, much longer than other domestic animals," says Dr. Three features of equine leg anatomy allow horses this advantage. Sign up - ResearchGate. Anatomy of a Boxer. Straight red lines represents the angulation of the dog.
Red lines A represent the SHOULDER ANGULATION and should appear equal in length and the angle where they meet should be approx. 90 to 110 degrees. Red lines B represent the HIND ANGULATION and should appear equal in length and the angle where they meet should be approx. 90 to 110 degrees. This creates BALANCE Green lines C should be equal in length. Top of withers to brisket = brisket to ground. Blue lines D should be equal in length. The broken red line - If a line were drawn from the center of the shoulderblade perpendicular to the ground, it should end at the big pad of the front foot.

Cursorial - Locomotion in Mammals. Cursorial locomotion involves high speed running, generally over long distances; it is preferred among mammals that inhabit primarily open or forested areas, where speed and endurance are essential to survival.
Forelimb anatomy and the discrimination of the predatory behavior of carnivorous mammals: the thylacine as a case study. Adaptation for Cursorial Locomotion. Running is mainly about speed -- obtained by combining stride rate and stride length.
Stride rate is favored by reducing limb mass (especially distally). Stride length is gained by increasing limb length (anatomically or physiologically). Rate and length are antagonistic, i.e., enhancing one compromises the other. Domestic mammals exhibit cursorial (running) adaptations to varying degrees: Carnivores require multipurpose limbs (both running & manupilating).
Herbivores, with roughage diets and bulky abdominal viscera, have relatively limited trunk flexion, but their limbs are freed to be devoted entirely to locomotion. Motions of the running horse and cheetah revisited: fundamental mechanics of the transverse and rotary gallop. Abstract Mammals use two distinct gallops referred to as the transverse (where landing and take-off are contralateral) and rotary (where landing and take-off are ipsilateral).
CursorialLocomotionNotes. Mechanics of locomotion of dogs (Canis familiaris) and sheep (Ovis aries) - Jayes - 1978 - Journal of Zoology. Records have been made of the forces exerted on the ground by dogs and a sheep, in walking, trotting, cantering and slow galloping.
Film has been taken simultaneously. The difference between walking and trotting was much less marked for the sheep than for the dogs. Step length and stride length increase as speed increases.

What is a cursorial mammal? - Stein - 1997 - Journal of Zoology. This paper focuses on the concept of cursoriality in mammals and aims to point out the confusion that can arise when a classical term is not explicitly redefined or expanded to incorporate the results of biomechanical techniques. Historically, the definition of ‘cursorial’ was based qualitatively on an animal's morphology and behaviour, generally referring to large, terrestrial mammals that ran fast or far across open spaces. However, in recent years, as biomechanicists have learned how to quantify aspects of limb movement and bone orientation, a more specific meaning of this term has come into use. Results from these new techniques have highlighted the lack of specificity in the historical definition and have led us to propose a clarified, quantitative definition of ‘cursorial’. The exceptional nature of bovids and primates with respect to this new definition is also addressed in our analysis.
