This article analyses the treadmill’s influence on racehorse training, spanning from the physiological impact to the practical uses of this equipment, while discussing its limits.

Knowing your young horses' locomotor profile and natural acceleration strategy is the first step in detecting...

Young horses do not have the same recovery patterns as older horses, even for equal intensity training or between two horses with equivalent fitness. Indeed, young horses have a less efficient heart and must adapt their muscular and neurological systems to the training conditions. They need time to adapt before they can recover properly. The evaluation of recovery in young horses is therefore done differently. How do recovery data differ between young horses and adult horses? How do you assess it?

Here is the case of a young horse preparing for a Breeze-up sales. He won two 1200m races in three starts, during the end of his 2yo year. The analysis of his data shows a very low heart rate that we will explain thanks to the analysis of his locomotor profile and an ultrasound of his heart.

Muscular physiology in the horse athlete is an important factor to study when interested in his training. Indeed, the muscles participate in various functions essential to the horse’s life (breathing, digestion…) and to its adaptation to the surrounding environment. The muscles are part of the different components that contribute to the performance of the horse athlete as they fulfill locomotion purposes: a horse that is ideally muscled will have a better chance of winning a race.

Equimetre is a sensor dedicated to health and performance management thanks to heart rate data, GPS data (speed, acceleration, distance) and locomotion data. Discover how this device gives you the keys to empower your expertise with tangible data.

Discover the first study to assess the influence of the jockey’s sex on a racehorse’s performance and physiology.

With four questions frequently asked by trainers, this article presents the essential parameters to collect in order to evaluate your horses’ fitness easily.

Many physiological and musculoskeletal changes may be seen in young Thoroughbreds as early as the first weeks and months of training.

French company Arioneo and Australian company StableWizard, both pioneers in the field of racehorse performance, welfare and health, are partnering to bring cutting-edge technology solutions to the global racehorse training industry.
