Highlights
- Pelvic rotation misalignment can be associated with reduced performance and lameness
- Redistribution of locomotor forces to other limbs to off-load a limb is a compensatory mechanism
- Evidence of a statistically significant relationship between the alignment of the pelvis and growth (length and width) of horse’s fore-hooves
