Crispin Parelius Johannesen is a fine art equine photographer.
He is documenting moments and details of equestrian sports.

Claudia Sanders is the editor in chief of the German Magazin “Dressur Studien”.

Horse owners encounter the horse's preference for one side, laterality, every day, but many are not even aware of it. In science, this “crookedness” is divided into four aspects: the physical unstraigthness, motor and sensory laterality as well as the laterality of the brain.

Typical situations in horse training: Sometimes it turns out that horses only get spooked on one side or that mounting works easily on the left side while there are difficulties on the right side. It may also be that your horse only prefers one particular side when leading.

Lateralität...

The recent scandal at the Olympics, where a horse was reportedly mistreated, has sparked intense debate within the equestrian community. So I would like to share my personal insight on the incident, emphasizing the need for stricter regulations to protect the welfare of horses. I discuss the broader implications of such events on the reputation and future of equestrian sports. Ultimately, I call for a collective effort to ensure ethical treatment and respect for these magnificent animals in all competitive arenas.

Sue Dyson is a renowned veterinarian and researcher specializing in equine orthopaedics and welfare. She is particularly well known for her work in the field of equine lameness diagnostics. Her research has shown that many behavioral problems in horses are often due to physical pain that is difficult to identify.

She developed the Ridden Horse Pain Ethogram (RHpE), a systematic scoring system that identifies 24 specific behavioral traits that may indicate pain in ridden horses.
This tool helps to detect pain at an early stage that might otherwise be overlooked. The characteristics include, for example, teeth grinding, frequent tail slapping...

Today Dr Andrew McClean is on the podcast. We are talking about the emerging scientific interest in Equine Cognition as a base of Equitation Science, why dominance Theory is outdated and which ways can lead into the equestrian future.
