1. This movie shows that the horse gets an asymmetrical movement pattern by the rider sitting obliquely.

2. This study demonstrates that participating in a rider core fitness program can have a significant effect on riders symmetry and consequently provide an important method for reducing asymmetrical loading and improving both human and equine performance. The step length of the horse increased significantly.

3. This study demonstrates the demands on dressage riders competing at higher levels may predispose these riders to a higher risk of developing asymmetry and potentially chronic back pain rather than improving their symmetry.
