This presentation demonstrates the methods used for collecting and interpreting three-dimensional (3D) kinematic and sEMG data, which were collected from an elite SJ horse during canter and jump. The data was analysed during the demonstration to show how selected equine muscles facilitate canter and the jumping effort.

The presentation was recorded when the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) hosted a day of demonstrations from equine researchers at Myerscough College in December 2015.
