Willem Back, Utrecht University

Hi All, couldn’t say anything about this but now I can.  Since April Willem and his team have completed two studies.  The first was on ten Fresian horses, where their gait patterns were objectively measured using Pegasus.  At the same time they were marked by a panel of judges.  In September the results will be presented to the Fresian Stud book commitee and then published.

The second trial was on six horses with stringhalt, where each horse was monitored using the Pegasus Hock Angle system.  Hock angles were successfully measured on all six horses, with both normal and modified shoes.  Sorry can’t tell you the results until they are published, keep watching.
