AimTo identify how riding rein direction (left and right) and rider asymmetry affect tolt performance in Icelandic horses. MethodsTwo horses were ridden in tolt by four riders on both left and right reins. Riders wore pressure insoles that measured the total absolute force (F-Abs) and absolute force difference (F-Diff) in their left and right feet in the stirrups. A 3D motion-analysis system recorded the degrees of side-to-side movement in the pelvis (RollP) and in the thoracolumbar region (RollT). Lateral advanced placement (LAP) and duty factor (DF) were calculated to determine tolt performance. One-way ANOVAs were used to assess the effect of rein direction on rider asymmetry variables (F-Abs, F-Diff, RollP and RollT) and tolt performance (LAP, DF) on a group level (n = 8). Within-subject Spearman rank correlations (& rho;) were computed to determine the effect of rider asymmetry variables on tolt performance on an individual level. ResultsLAP was closer to 25% on the left rein compared to the right rein (mean difference: 1.8 & PLUSMN;1.2%; F-(1,F-7) = 16.333; p = 0.005, & eta;(2)(p) = 0.700). In addition, DF was lower on the left rein compared to the right rein (mean difference: 1.9 & PLUSMN;0.8%; F-(1,F-7) = 41.299; p
