Abstract
We confirm a conjecture of Marklof regarding the limiting distribution of certain sparse collections of points on expanding horospheres. These collections are obtained by intersecting the expanded horosphere with a certain manifold of complementary dimension and turns out to be of arithmetic nature. This result is then used along the lines suggested by Marklof to give an analogue of a result of Schmidt regarding the distribution of shapes of lattices orthogonal to integer vectors.
