Equine Behaviour in Relation to Pain and Lameness This session brings together four researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), who have conducted a series of high-quality studies on behaviour and pain. They have taken a scientific approach to understanding equine behaviour in relation to pain and lameness. The discussion will enhance our understanding of how experimentally validated behavioural indicators can be used to guide and improve decision-making.
Centaur Biomechanics was found in 2006 by Dr. Russell MacKechnie-Guire who graduated from Warwickshire College in 2006 with a BSc (Hons) in Equine and Human Sports Science and now holds a PhD in Equine Biomechanics graduating from the Royal Veterinary College in 2019. Russell’s thesis was titled ‘The Relationship between Saddle and Rider Kinematics, Equine Locomotion, and Thoracolumbar Pressures in Sports Horses’.
