What began over 15 years ago with the birth of Dolly the sheep has developed into a global network of research and innovation which has already had a major impact on the world of dressage. "I first heard about embryonic cloning in the 90's and somatic cloning in 1996 with the birth of Dolly," Eric Palmer, founder of the French cloning company Cryozootech, told Eurodressage.

American equestrian magazine The Horse published an article about a British study which links suspensory injuries to excessive extended trot. Suspensory ligament injuries are relatively common in dressage horses, but there is little scientific information available on their causes.
