Topic:Racehorses

Racehorses are a distinct category of horses bred and trained for competitive racing events, characterized by their speed, agility, and stamina. These horses are primarily Thoroughbreds, Standardbreds, or Quarter Horses, each with specific attributes suited to different types of racing. The physiology and management of racehorses focus on optimizing performance through training, nutrition, and veterinary care. Research in this area often explores aspects such as biomechanics, cardiovascular health, and injury prevention. This page gathers peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that investigate the physiology, training methodologies, and health management practices associated with racehorses, providing insights into the factors influencing their performance and welfare.

Robinson RC.Most practitioners will have experienced the frustration encountered in the treatment of sprains of the flexor tendons and suspensory ligaments of racehorses. After apparent recovery, the damaged structure will often break down again when the horse returns to hard training. Milne (1960), Reed (1962), Jubb and Kennedy (1963) and Hickman (1964) have written detailed ac- counts of the pathology of tendon injuries and the mechanism of repair of tendon tissue. These writers substantiate that when a tendon is sprained, there is a tearing or rupture of some of the tendon fibres, varying i...
