Interests: Clinical interests include lameness, diagnostic imaging and orthopaedic conditions of the performance horse. Research interests focus on the epidemiology of injury in the elite equine athlete, especially race and event horses. The adaptation of the musculoskeletal system to exercise is a particular interest, including the influence of biomechanical loading on joint kinematics, bone strain and bone modelling.
