Equine exercise physiology is an area that has been subject to
major scientific advances over the last 30 years, largely due to
the increased availability of high-speed treadmills and techniques
for recording physiological function during exercise. Despite the
scientific advances, many riders and trainers are still using
little more than experience and intuition to train their horses.
major scientific advances over the last 30 years, largely due to
the increased availability of high-speed treadmills and techniques
for recording physiological function during exercise. Despite the
scientific advances, many riders and trainers are still using
little more than experience and intuition to train their horses.
The aim of this book is to sort the fact from the fiction for
the benefit of those involved in training, managing or working with
horses, and to provide an up-to-date summary of the state of play
in equine exercise physiology. Scientific theories are explained
from first principles, with the assumption that the reader has no
previous scientific background. The book is designed to save
competitors and trainers a lot of time and effort trying to extract
information in piecemeal fashion from a host of reference sources.
For the first time, everything you need to know about exercising
and training horses is here in one text.
