Title: Evaluation of dynamic stability of the lower limb in horse riders using the Y- balance test Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to map the level of lower limbs stability in show jumping and eventing horse riders by using the Y-balance test and to describe whether common signs of variations in range of motion of lower limb joints will be present. At the same time supplement the thesis with a short summary of movement problems and the use of physiotherapy in horse riders using a short questionnaire. By writing this thesis I would like to raise the awareness of riders about the effect of asymmetries and imbalances on the musculoskeletal system of both the rider and the horse, and about the possible achievement of better harmony between the rider and the horse when trying to correct these changes with the help of physiotherapy or other additional movement activities. Methods: The key part of the research section of the thesis is an examination using the Y-balance test evaluatimg the dynamic stability of the lower limb and also the examination of range of motion of the lower limb joints using a goniometer. At the same time, a questionnaire is part of the work, which has the task of providing a brief overview of the issue of physiotherapy in horse riding. Testing is performed on 25 probands, 14...

The feeding rations are assessed in a group of nine horses of the various breeds, age, weight and performance. The discovered values has been compared with the standard nutrient requirements for horses.
