The information I found throughout my research and investigation have opened my eyes for how many factors affect a horse's health. I always knew that horses were complex animals, but the issues that can arise I'm sure are insurmountable. It seems that no matter what discipline you ride, there are going to be problems and risks to the health of your horse. I personally, do not think that dressage or hunter/jumper are better or worse for a horse's physiological health, just different. The body, mind, and behavior of a horse can be negatively affected in any discipline if the proper precautions are not taken. I still wonder that if there were more investigations like the ones conducted at MSU, if an exact answer could be found.
