Air pollution exposure during training impairs performance in Thoroughbred racehorses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ambient air pollution contributes substantially to human morbidity and mortality, and athletes are recognised as a particularly vulnerable group. However, little is known about the impact of air pollution on equine athletes. Objectives To explore the relationship between air pollution exposure during the pre‐competition training ...

Validation of a smart textile electrocardiographic monitoring device in racehorses during high‐speed exercise

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Exercise‐associated cardiac arrhythmias may contribute to poor performance and sudden cardiac death in horses. Widespread monitoring is limited by device availability and suitability for field use. Objectives To (1) compare electrocardiographic (ECG) quality from a smart textile system (Myant Skiin Equine) with a reference device ...

Modelling the Interaction Between Racehorse Limb and Race Surface

, 2016
Musculoskeletal injuries are the leading cause of racehorse fatalities and attrition. Race surface mechanics affect racehorse limb biomechanics, and therefore can affect musculoskeletal injuries.

Common protein-coding variants influence the racing phenotype in galloping racehorse breeds

Communications Biology, 2022
A genome-wide analysis in galloping racehorse breeds identifies protein-altering genetic variants in a core set of genes that appear to determine attributes for racing, including muscle, neurobiological, and metabolic advantages.

Parascaris spp. induced surgical colic in juvenile horses—A Scandinavian perspective

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parascaris spp. commonly infects foals, and high burdens can cause fatal small intestinal impactions. Progressive anthelmintic resistance poses a risk for an increase of Parascaris spp. related disease in juvenile horses. Objectives To investigate Parascaris‐related surgical intestinal lesions, with special emphasis on ascarid ...

Effect of exercise‐related nasopharyngeal disorders on upper airway function in racehorses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Exercise‐related upper respiratory tract (URT) disorders are frequently diagnosed in racehorses. Treatment recommendations are routinely based on subjective assessment of clinical evaluation and exercising endoscopy findings. Objectives To objectively investigate how palatal instability (PI), intermittent dorsal displacement of the ...

The effect of romifidine on endoscopic grading of laryngeal function in horses

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To our knowledge, the effect of sedation with romifidine on the grading of laryngeal function in horses has not been studied. Our objective was to examine the effects of romifidine on the grading of laryngeal function and the cross‐sectional area of the rima glottis (CSARG). Methods Ten horses underwent three endoscopic examinations

Outcomes and racing performance in thoroughbreds following a long‐term injury sustained during a jump race in Great Britain

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Limited literature is available about the career outcomes of horses sustaining a long‐term injury (LTI) in a jump race. Methods All Thoroughbreds that sustained an LTI, defined as any non‐fatal musculoskeletal injury requiring a minimum 90‐day break from racing, in a British jump race between May 2018 and April 2023 were followed up
