Researchers successfully identified a subset of elite eventing horses at increased risk of a poor cross-country performance, after applying a ridden horse behaviour scale.
The study, reported in the journal
Equine Veterinary Education, began with a pilot study on a convenience sample of 35 horses competing on the second day of dressage at the Burghley CCI 4* (now 5*) event in 2018.
The main study a year later involved 70 horses warming up for the dressage phase of the CCI 5* Badminton horse trials in May 2019; and 67 horses warming up in similar fashion for Burghley four months later.
