A QTL for conformation of back and croup influences lateral gait quality in Icelandic horses

A QTL for conformation of back and croup influences lateral gait quality in Icelandic horses

Abstract Background The back plays a vital role in horse locomotion, where the spine functions as a spring during the stride cycle. A complex interaction between the spine and the muscles of the back contribute to locomotion soundness, gait ability, and performance of riding and racehorses. Conforma...
