Jij bent toch handig, Cambiar? Ga naar een behang/verfwinkel - die hebben kunststof tafelzeiltjes in 100 kleuren en patronen, misschien kan je daar iets leuks van maken?

Citaat:Swaybacks under Saddle
Lordosis affects horses of all breeds, and neither the early-onset variety nor the late-arriving form has any particular influence on horses' health or soundness. Swaybacked broodmares have no additional problems in conceiving, carrying or delivering their foals. Performance horses are not impaired to any significant degree by lordosis, though swaybacked racehorses aren't among the fleetest and affected show stock may have slightly altered gaits.
"Lordosis has been somewhat of a controversial issue because affected horses are able to perform and with a saddle on aren't particularly noticeable," says Gallagher. "Horsepeople have differing opinions about the effect on gait, which is minor and might be dealt with by shoeing and training."
The one area of concern for horses with abnormal spinal curvature is in saddle fit and back injury. A saddle tree that bridges across the deep back contour, thus putting extreme pressure on four small areas, or concentrates the rider's weight behind the withers can cause the horse much discomfort. The abnormal pitch of the dorsal processes of a swaybacked horse can also cause painful impingement of bone on bone.
Gallagher doesn't recall seeing a lordotic horse with obvious use-caused back injury, but he has observed affected horses who displayed some subtle sourness under saddle that may have been associated with impingement. Careful saddle selection and appropriate padding are the primary considerations in outfitting lordotic horses for riding. Swaybacked horses should be able to perform in harness without any particular accommodations to their abnormality.
