My Equine Research: Would Appreciate Help!

I'm currently in the early stages of planning a research project involving a couple horses at my barn, and I would love if the EV community would help get involved and add some ideas to it.

I'm researching the effects of different movements and motions to the range of motion on older horses. While I know for a fact that studies similar to this have been done before, results can vary between horses, and I would love to find out what would happen to the horses that I will be using. The movements and motions that I'm thinking about testing are:

- Stretches

- Shoulder to shoulder

- Holding front leg, and if possible back leg (not backwards, as if I was pulling their hoof to their belly

I have just barely touched the top of this interesting topic, and I would love advice from anyone and everyone! Thank you!
