„Riding Soundness“ – die orthopädische Gesundheit von Reitpferden auf dem Prüfstand

Es ist unumstritten, dass lahmende Pferde nicht geritten werden sollten. Doch die Kompetenz von Pferdebesitzern, eine Lahmheit bei ihrem Pferd zuverlässig zu erkennen, wird zunehmend hinterfragt. Dieses Thema wurde jetzt in einer Studie genauer untersucht.
