Research
In September 2025, I defended my PhD thesis, "Genetic insights into distance-specific performance and ability to race barefoot in trotting horses in Sweden". Now I work as a research assistant in the project "Inbreeding depression in cold-blooded trotters – cold truths about a hot issue".
Research projects
- Better hoof, better horse?
- Inbreeding depression in cold-blooded trotters – cold truths about a hot issue
Selected publications
- Should performance at different race lengths be treated as genetically distinct traits in Coldblooded trotters?
- The ability to race barefoot is a heritable trait in Standardbred and Coldblooded trotters
- Cool, cooperative and competitive – Can we breed for a temperament that promotes performance in Standardbred trotters?
- Better hoof, better horse - Genetic correlations between ability to race barefoot and performance in trotting horses
- All publications
