The acid-base balance during exercise
During exercise, the acid-base balance of the horse’s body is perturbed. By using more oxygen and energy, his metabolism produces waste products that acidify his body. The body then naturally regulates its pH level in order to maintain this acid-base balance. How does the horse’s acid-base balance work during exercise?

Exercises of varying intensity: what effect on the horse?
During exercise of varying intensities, the different systems of the horse’s body adapt their functioning. In this article we will look at these changes through the respiratory, cardiovascular and muscular systems.

When and how to detect your young horses’ locomotor profile?
Knowing your young horses’ locomotor profile is the first step to detect the future champions… What is their natural acceleration strategy?
Young racehorses’ recovery
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?

Maher-Eustace Racing data journey with Equimetre
Maher-Eustace Racing has placed a bet on data, and it is paying off! Discover how this racing team uses data on a regular basis.
How does Trevor J Andrews train his racehorses with Equimetre?
“I can understand why horses are doing certain things with their heart rate, stride length, and other parameters. I’ve learnt a lot. For example, that horses recover slower and harder on colder weather days.”
