So! I got an email from uni not too long ago, that is aimed at people that are horse owners/riders. Just to give a bit of background information:
“The aim of this research is to explore the relationship between riders’ motor bias and asymmetry in horses they ride.
Previous research has noted that the inadvertent influence of riders and other handlers may result or influence trained
bias within their horses.”
For those interested in helping out that are 16 years of age or over, head on over to the survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/asymmetry. There is a participant information sheet that outlines further information; those participating in the survey will be directed to this and contact details with regards to who is conducing the research are also provided should further questions need answering. Enjoy!
